Para Vista Primary School has a rich and diverse multicultural community and is set on extensive grounds including a gymnasium and two playing fields. The school offers an on-site Pre-school and Out of School Hours Care/Vacation Care. Transition to school from pre-school is supported by a 'Super Starters' class. This program provides one term of school orientation in a small class setting with a specific focus on early literacy and school routines. Current priorities are excellence in learning, literacy, numeracy, wellbeing and multiculturalism. Features of these priorities are Early Years Intervention, Student Voice/Leadership and our Social Skills Program. Support for learners with special needs and bringing community members into the school is also a priority. Students are provided with specialist programs in PE and music. Science is also a strong feature of classroom programs with students participating in a range of science based activities throughout the year. Students have access to a broad range of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) such as interactive whiteboard, computer suites and the internet.
