Our Principal

Congratulations, Mr. Chisholm! We proudly annouce that our Principal is a recent recipient of a prestigious national fellowship.

We are proud to announce that our Principal, Nathan Chisholm, has received a prestigious national award through the Australian Council for Educational Leaders for his sustained commitment to excellence in school leadership and to recognise this his work has “influenced educational practice at a national and/or international level.” Further, this award is a “recognition of contributions to the profession beyond the nominee’s day to day role.”

Awarded by the Australian Council of Educational Leaders at a ceremony in Adelaide, Mr. Chisholm’s National Fellowship is a source of pride to us all. Known for his deep care for his students, staff and families, his commitment to innovative school and system improvement, and his curiosity as a continuous learner, Mr. Chisholm’s leadership has made a lasting impact both within our school and on a broader national level. It is this broad impact over many years which is part of the reason for this award.

His drive to explore new ideas and practices as he’s led the development of the Prahran High School community has been key to leveraging the rich opportunities available to our school and in developing a compelling, dynamic, effective and absolutely inclusive educational vision for our students and staff. As well as leading the development of our school, his curiosity and passion for pushing boundaries has allowed him to make meaningful contributions to education at the national level, influencing policies and practices that benefit schools across the country.

We are honored to have such a forward-thinking and influential leader guiding our school. Mr. Chisholm’s recognition on the national stage highlights the powerful impact of his work and underscores his role as a changemaker in education. We look forward to the continued growth and success he will inspire at PHS and beyond.
