As Pridwin looks to the future, we must ensure that we are prepared for the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead. We must continue to innovate, push the boundaries of what is possible, strive for excellence in all that we do, and engage ourselves in inclusive processes of change.
Pridwin's Centenary Video
The legacy of Pridwin is one of excellence, tradition, innovation and progress. Great things have been accomplished in the past, but now is also a time for Pridwin to look to the future and prepare for the decades to come.
Pridwin's Centenary theme is "FutureFit" - Futurefit means holding a worldview whereby people and the planet are considered, striving to imagine a world that is yet to exist, as well as our collective impact on it.
Our Centenary provides a unique opportunity to pledge your commitment to Pridwin's second century of growth through our Circles of Giving Campaign, and we invite every member of our community to join us in this collective effort. Our Circles of Giving symbolise the power of community and individual contributions, regardless of their size. Every donation, no matter how big or small, holds immense significance towards ensuring an inspiring future for Pridwin.
In recognition of your contribution, we are pleased to offer the option, should you wish, of having your name represented on our donor giving boards. Our donations are recognised in the following categories (with no specific amounts shown) Founder, Bronze, Silver and Legacy. Every donation received contributes towards the sustainability and continued excellence of Pridwin.
Please join us in ensuring Pridwin remains a centre of excellence for the next century. The strong support received from our Pridwin Community reaffirms the unwavering commitment we share in providing boys with the best educational foundation and opportunities for growth.
Over the next century we will build a future where the impact of Pridwin extends far beyond the walls of our campus, making a significant difference in the wider world.
We encourage you to share this opportunity with fellow alumni, parents, friends, and anyone who understands the importance of investing in our young boys' future.

Centenary Fundraising Campaign
Pridwin stands at the midpoint of an extraordinary milestone in the history of our school as we celebrate Pridwin’s Centenary Year. This presents us with a unique opportunity to come together as a community, both past and present, to shape the future of our school and propel it into its next stage of growth.
We recognise the pivotal role our school plays in the formative years of young boys' lives and remain firm in our commitment to providing a nurturing platform where they can grow, develop, and transform into future leaders, entrepreneurs, and innovators.
Since our beginnings in 1923, Pridwin has thrived thanks to the unwavering support of successive generations. We are immensely grateful for the generous donations and active fundraising efforts that have propelled us forward. It is the commitment of our community that has enabled us to construct essential facilities such as the Music Block, Auditorium, Cappies Clubhouse, and Hockey Astro Turf.
During our Centenary Year we have embarked on an ambitious and intentional fundraising campaign and we invite every member of our community to join us in this collective effort. Through our committed alumni and current parents, spanning across generations, we can ensure the sustained success and growth of Pridwin for the next century.
CENTENARY GROWTH PLAN: FUTURE FIT CENTRE
We are excited to share the plans for the next phase of our Centenary Growth Plan, the building of a Future Fit Centre. These facilities play a vital role in providing a learning environment that is truly world-class with innovative teaching methods and cutting-edge technology to ensure our boys excel in high school and beyond. This centre will provide modern, state-of-the-art learning spaces that foster creativity, critical thinking, and collaboration to ensure that the boys are equipped with the skills and resources needed to succeed in a rapidly changing world.
