We know our students well and we value their unique strengths and challenges. We are committed to a school culture which is positive, engaging and safe.
As your Principal, I’m excited, grateful, ambitious and determined. I have a fundamental belief in the power of positivity, the setting of high standards and the importance of truly doing one’s best. At Prahran High School we commit to showing unconditional positive regard for the young people in our care. We work from the belief that ‘happy kids learn more’ and this belief drives our learning culture.
Our school is a welcoming place of learning where students, staff, families and the broader community work together, side-by-side.
We also work from the belief that setting high standards of behaviour, manner, uniform, contribution and achievement shows our students that we are committed to them doing, and achieving, their very best. School is about learning, about intellectual rigour and academic success, and it is also about nurturing and developing children as a whole – their character, as well as their minds.
As you make this important decision for your child, please take some time to browse our website, join one of our regular tours and chat to us directly. I hope that once you engage with us, you will really start to see, feel and believe, the many factors that have begun to set Prahran High School apart – the qualities that make us unique. I hope that you start to feel confident (and excited) that you now have the chance to choose a school that has the culture, beliefs and values that best match those of you and your child. I’m confident that you will.
Sitting proudly in a stunning new school building on High Street, Prahran, we are positioned strongly and confidently in the heart of this community. Our students stand out in their sleek teal and grey uniforms, but they also stand out because of who they are, and they are amazing.
We talk about ‘impact’ a lot at our school. ‘Make an Impact’ is our motto and it drives us every day. Young people have immense power to ‘make an impact’ in their school, community and world and I’m committed to providing them with every opportunity to do just that.
I’m delighted to welcome you to Prahran High School.
Nathan Chisholm
Foundation Principal
