Welcome to Parafield Gardens High School
We are excited to have your child as a learner and you, a vitally important contributor to the educational experience, in our learning community.
PGHS has a strong focus on Effective Learning, High quality Teaching and Learning and Wellbeing.
Our staff have a strong commitment to student agency, building student’s self-efficacy and working collaboratively with colleagues, students, families and the community to maximise the learning pathways for every student in our school.
We are a comprehensive school that caters for the diverse range of interests our learners bring to our learning community. Inclusion is a key priority fostered through our structured Learning Community model we develop belonging and celebrate learning growth and personal development success for every learner.
Parafield Gardens High School is a Category 3 school, with a culturally diverse community. Our school demographic is something we celebrate. Our student cohort is made up of over 1200 students.
We have a focus on fostering positive relationships across the site by enabling Home Group teachers and Learning Community Managers to know and understand all learners in their care to ensure a sense of belonging. This is enhanced through mentoring and HG based programs that develop the skills in our students to face their futures with confidence. Graduating from PGHS, our learners will be able to:
- Show resilience when faced with a challenge
- Have the metacognitive strategies to think through issues
- Design their own futures with a high level of self-efficacy
Our Governing Council represents our demographic and is an active and engaged group of parents who actively contribute to our school’s values of Respect, Achievement and Determination.
We also have extensive community and partnership links that guide our thinking, support our students and collaborate with us to ensure effective transitions for learners at every stage of their learning journey with us.
We are committed to ensuring that your child successfully engages within our learning community and you can be proud of the school you have entrusted to educate your child.
