About Preshil

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.

About the Primary School

Located at our Arlington Campus, Preshil's Primary School provides a distinctive educational experience for children from Prep to Grade Five, grounded in progressive educational practice and a deep respect for childhood.

Our approach places children at the centre of their learning, encouraging curiosity, creativity, independence and a lifelong love of learning. Through play, inquiry, collaboration and meaningful relationships, we create environments where children feel known, valued and empowered to explore their interests, develop their capabilities and find their voice.

As Arlington evolves into a Prep to Year 8 campus with the introduction of our Middle School in 2027, the Primary School will continue to provide a strong, connected and developmentally responsive foundation for every child's educational journey.
