Location Profile Prahran High School is a uniquely urban, inner-city 7-12 co-education school environment. Situated on busy High Street, Windsor, we are well serviced by public transport—trams, trains, and buses all within easy walking distance. With no car parking on site, this ease of access is important and helpful.
Our school is a purpose-built, co-educational, vertical campus in one of Melbourne's most creative and eclectic inner-city urban villages. Our school is built to accommodate approximately 650 secondary students and is integrated into Prahran's thriving education and arts precinct that includes the Melbourne Polytechnic and the National Institute of Circus Arts (NICA).
Spanning four levels that encircle a vast light-filled central atrium, our school truly presents as an innovative, unique, and contemporary school campus. Our curriculum, approach to pedagogy, wellbeing, and culture works in harmony with the design of the school buildings.
A central feature of the design is a series of cascading bleachers that interconnect the various levels, while acting as informal learning and gathering spaces. The architecture of the school motivates physical movement, vertical circulation, and open visibility. This, together with the learning terraces and multiple breakout spaces, creates a learning environment that aligns with our school commitment to Project Based Learning, varied collaborative, flexible and independent learning pedagogies, relationships, and wellbeing.
The ground floor houses the library, music, and drama facilities. Science labs, art, and technology spaces extend throughout the next three levels, while learning spaces on each level open to outdoor learning terraces. The third floor features a gymnasium and an outdoor recreation zone with a rebound court and running track. A multi-purpose area with trees and a garden occupies the rooftop level.
Prahran High School is a public transport, bicycle and walking school. There is no parking on-site and applicants are encouraged to think this through to ensure this will work for you.
We welcome your interest in our school and look forward to reading your application.
