The external school review framework is referenced throughout all stages of the ESR process.
This report outlines aspects of the school’s performance verified through the review process according to the framework. It does not document every aspect of the school’s processes, programs and outcomes.

At Para Vista Primary we believe that everyone has the right to feel safe. We are strong
believers in educating our students of the importance in being an ‘upstander’ to support our
school community. This policy explains what bullying is, how you can report it and what we
will do to stop it from happening. The purpose of this policy is to provide information to
students, staff and parents/caregivers about Anti-Bullying.

A definition of bullying:
Bullying is the use of targeted, intentional and ongoing unwanted behaviour towards another person with the intention of hurting, either physically or emotionally.
Bullying is not ‘one off’ incidents of harassment or teasing.

We offer a warm and inviting environment to our families and their children. We aim to share conversations, learn from other cultures, respond to needs, offer valuable learning opportunities for both individuals and to support our children’s learning. A place to embrace, connect and grow within our diverse community. We seek to make this hub a place to develop friendships, share ideas and break down barriers enabling us to have a strong community bond.

When we enrol a student at Para Vista we don’t just enrol a student – we enrol a family. All families from a valuable part of our community. Our community hub is an avenue for our multicultural community to be embrace and celebrated. Our community hub is a chance for our parent community to take part in valuable learning opportunities to support our students in their learning journey. We look forward to welcoming you into our Community hub and celebrating the path ahead.

The learning potential app has lots of useful tips and ideas to help you make the most of those small opportunities. To maximise your child’s learning and development.
