EVERY GREAT JOURNEY STARTS WITH A SINGLE STEP

Preshil the Margaret Lyttle Memorial School is Australia’s oldest progressive school. Preshil encompasses a philosophy that emphasises the development of each child to their full potential rather than competition between children. In this way preshil nurtures children’s self esteem love of learning and independence and therefore no child is hampered by class level expectations. Preshil is a small school with small classes. It is a progressive non-denominational co-educational school for ages 3 and 4 to Year 12 VCE with after-school care and morning playgroup available. A comprehensive curriculum is provided across all year levels including music and the arts leading to a rich and vigorous VCE program. At Preshil children take an active role in their education in turn developing a responsibility for their actions and ultimately their future. They’re not told what to think but rather they are taught how to think. This gives children a self-discipline and preparedness to become whomever they choose.

Learning

As each child tries new things and their interests evolve preshil helps them establish personal goals and pursue them with passion. Preshil nurtures children's self-esteem love of learning and independence. Children thrive in a learning environment that’s genuinely designed and built around them. The Junior School provides cottage-style classrooms meandering in a semi-rural landscape that includes self-built cubby spaces. Throughout Junior School children are placed in multi-age groupings to accommodate varying learning speeds. It’s so grading divisions aren’t imposed that serve only to develop preconceptions about what arbitrary performance targets they must reach. By the time Preshil students finish Junior School they’re equipped to make judicious choices regarding their own education and development. The spirit of creativity and discovery continues to shape the curriculum into Year 7 and beyond.
