Preshil’s Strategic Plan – ‘Towards 2023’, establishes our intention to stage the introduction of the DP into our progressive tradition and we are seeking a dynamic individual to lead the implementation of this programme. The DP Coordinator, at the Blackhall Kalima Campus, will be responsible to the Principal and Head of Campus for the implementation and coordination of the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme, including oversight of the professional development of the teachers and the organisation for all Year 11 to 12 students, to ensure the success of this element of the school’s strategic plan.
They will work in close cooperation with the Principal, the Head of Campus, Year 11 and 12 Coordinator as part of the Preshil Strategic Plan Implementation Team, to ensure that Preshil remains a strong and united school across both campuses in the progressive tradition. This position is supported by an IB Administrator.
They will understand and respect the history and the progressive ethos of the school and of the collegiate working relationships of Preshil staff and will work to nurture and enhance that collegiality and sense of community through their own leadership style.
Preshil is a small, secular and progressive co-educational school in Victoria for ages 3 and 4 through to Year 12. The students take an active role in their education and develop responsibility for their actions; they are encouraged to ask challenging questions, to know themselves, care for others and achieve excellence on their own terms.
The school philosophy is inspired by the work of Margaret J R Lyttle and the ideas of other educational theorists relevant to progressive education in 21st century Australia.
Preshil is an authorized International Baccalaureate World School with a Diploma Programme (DP), Middle Years Programme (MYP) and Primary Programme (PYP).
Preshil is committed to the protection of children and young people and safeguarding children from harm.
