Preshil School, also known as the Margaret Lyttle Memorial School, is an independent school known as the first ‘Progressive’ school in Australia. Established in 1931 by the namesake Margaret Lyttle, it hosts both primary and secondary students, and boasts itself as a school that breaks away from the predominant schooling offered by other schools in Victoria. Most notably in 2018, they chose to instead graduate students with an International Baccalaureate rather than a Victorian Certificate of Education, the first in the state to do so. The file includes: Newspaper articles regarding the school and Margaret Lyttle, as well as a 2004 report on the school by the National Trust of Australia.
