Prahran High 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 650 secondary students and is integrated into Prahran’s thriving education and arts precinct. Spanning four levels that encircle a vast light- filled central atrium, our school is truly an innovative, unique and contemporary school campus. Our curriculum, approach to pedagogy and culture works in harmony with the design of the school building.

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 the school ethos of collaborative engagement, student agency and project-based learning.

The ground floor houses the library, music and drama facilities. Science labs, art and high-level technology spaces extend throughout the next three levels, while learning spaces on each level open to communal outdoor learning terraces. The sense of space, light and fresh air is a feature. The third floor features an outstanding full-sized gymnasium and an outdoor recreation zone with a rebound court and small running track. A multi-purpose area with canteen (opening soon), trees and a garden occupies the living rooftop level.

At Prahran High School, architectural form and educational ethos align to emphasize creativity, collaboration, innovation, wellbeing and community engagement.

Our school is committed to working in harmony with our local community. We are a proud, diverse inner-city school and our students reflect the socio-economic and cultural diversity of this community. We see the diversity of our community as one of our great strengths and opportunities.
