Preshil, the Margaret Lyttle Memorial School – Kew VIC

Preshil, Melbourne’s oldest progressive co‑educational independent school, offers education from Kindergarten to Year 12. We nurture critical and creative thinkers in a warm, inclusive environment built on strong student‑teacher relationships.

Guided by the values of Mutual Respect, Courage and Collaboration, we foster independence, curiosity and confidence—encouraging young people to be thoughtful, engaged citizens.

Challenging conventional education, Preshil values individuality and fulfilment alongside academic excellence. We’re an Original school, made for Originals.
