City of Boroondara, Australia Preshil, The Margaret Lyttle Memorial School Full time

Preshil is a coeducational, secular, and private school in Kew, Melbourne, welcoming children from kindergarten through to the completion of their secondary schooling in Year 12. Founded in 1931, it is Australia’s oldest progressive school, and has played an influential role in the development of progressive pedagogy globally. The Preshil approach to schooling emphasises the relationships between teachers and students that engages children’s intrinsic desire to learn and does not use the fear of failure or the threat of punishment to motivate them. The rapport between students and their teachers is relaxed, respectful, reciprocal, and focused on achieving a life-long love for learning.

Preshil intertwines long-standing traditions with innovative programs. As an International Baccalaureate (IB) Continuum School, Preshil’s accredited IB Primary Years, Middle Years and Diploma Programmes align with the school’s focus on intellectual challenge, inquiry, and research-based learning. These programmes accommodate individual choice and independent learning and encourage students to develop the “courage to question”.

A rare opportunity now exists for an experienced transformational leader with a commitment to progressive education, to join this extraordinary school community as Preshil’s next Principal. The successful applicant will be an approachable and empathetic educational leader, highly visible across the school, calm and possessing a strong suite of management skills. They will drive strong stakeholder engagement, serving as the standard-bearer of the school’s identity and values within the public sphere, and will welcome the challenge of providing educational and administrative leadership within a context in which student and teacher agency is highly valued. As the next Principal, you will inspire those around you and will work collaboratively with key stakeholders to bring about meaningful change on an individual and organisational level.

**Closing date: February 8th 2024**

Preshil began in 1931 when Margaret Lyttle began teaching students in her living room in Kew. Margaret Lyttle was made a Member of the Order of Australia in 1989 for her services to education.

**Kindergarten and Primary School Curriculum**

Early childhood is a time for powerful experiences that forever fuel the imagination of the scientist, artist, author, philosopher, and builder — experiences that children carry into their future as a core of inspiration, confidence and creativity. Happenings in the early years become lifelong, life-shaping lessons.

A journey that starts at Preshil has endless potential. Literacy and Numeracy complement specialist programs of French, Art, Music and Physical Education, and our children are guided through activities that nourish their personal and academic development.

Our Primary School curriculum is underpinned by high expectations for every child; challenging and encouraging them while respecting difference and individuality. Both personal and collaborative projects promote creativity and imaginative thinking, and there is time allocated for uninterrupted play.

The International Baccalaureate PYP is a framework that allows Preshil to develop a contemporary and progressive curriculum. The framework focusses on qualities underpinning successful learning for each child; rich understanding at the conceptual level, building of specific discipline-based knowledge,and the demonstration of increasingly sophisticated skills across all learning areas. The PYP is based on the core belief that knowledge is constructed and that this construction is most effectively done when each child is engaged, appropriately challenged, and has a voice in how their understanding will be assessed. At Preshil we believe that such learning can only succeed when there is a close relationship of trust between child and teacher; emphasis is placed on the role of building deep, respectful social relationships as the primary building block of personal interactions.

**Secondary School Curriculum**

The DP (Years 11 and 12) allows creation of greater coherence between our values and practice. Like Preshil, the DP understands that for education to be truly valuable, it must address the needs of the whole person and not simply the academic entity. By cultivating self-reflection, foregrounding interconnectedness through collaborative learning and community engagement, and encouraging students to pursue their passions and interests, the DP provides students with a meaningful educational experience, one that is responsive to their needs and will equip them to be active, contributing members of a global community.

Preshil students are challenged to set goals that support them to reach their academic potential. The IB Learner Profile emphasises the development of the whole person, actively cultivating the attributes of our students as inquirers; knowledgeable thinkers and communicators who are principled, open-minde
