Prahran High School is a purpose-built, co-educational, vertical campus in one of Melbourne's most creative and eclectic inner-city urban villages. Our school was built to accommodate 650 secondary students and is integrated into Prahran's thriving education and arts precinct. Spanning four levels that encircle a vast light-filled central atrium, our school is truly an innovative, unique and contemporary school campus. Our curriculum, approach to pedagogy and culture works in harmony with the design of the school building. Our school is committed to working in harmony with our local community. We are a proud, diverse inner-city school and our students reflect the socio-economic and cultural diversity of this community.
We see the diversity of our community as one of our great strengths and opportunities. While there is great diversity at Prahran High School, broadly, our overall socio-economic level is relatively high, meaning that more of our students come from homes where parents are professionally employed, and the level of social capital students bring with them to secondary school is also relatively high. However, it is important to note that this is an ever-changing aspect of this school community and the nature of our community is changing. We are grateful to be part of this extraordinary community and are grateful for the ongoing support of our families.
Families, rightly, have very high expectations of our school. They are invested in the continued success of our school and are committed to working with us. This is Our Vision / Core Purpose: The purpose of Prahran High School is for all students to learn and to develop the knowledge, capabilities and character required to make a positive impact in our world in the endeavours of their choice. That is furthered by Our Mission: Our mission is to foster curiosity, creativity and empathy in the students in our care to develop young leaders of character and purpose who can confidently embrace life's challenges and make a positive impact in our world.
At all levels of our learning organisation, the concept of prioritising, valuing and measuring `impact¿ helps shape and guide our work, and it became our school motto: Make an Impact! Couched within this big idea of `impact is a core set of values that underpins all that we do together at our school. The school values that we developed are simple, but with scope for depth and complexity limited only by our imaginations.
Creativity - The ability to think creatively and critically will be a defining trait of tomorrow's successful young adults. We encourage creative, independent and original thinking in all aspects of our school curriculum, fostering an environment of active collaboration and exploration.
Curiosity - Curiosity is the doorway to exploration, understanding and the acquisition of knowledge and wisdom. We encourage our students to be lifetime learners and are inspired by what Albert Einstein said: I have no special talent. I am only passionately curious.
Challenge - Today's students will learn to live, grow and work in the most challenging of times characterised by complexity, uncertainty and constant change. We will strive to strengthen resilience, resolve and intellectual rigor in our students so they will be up to the challenge.
Character - Character traits including empathy, compassion and self-awareness are essential to living a meaningful and purposeful life. At Prahran High School, we emphasise the development of sound and strong character alongside the achievement of academic excellence.
