Letter from the Principal

For local families, opening our new school is a once in a life-time opportunity to form a school, and a school culture, founded on excellence and inclusion in the heart of our community. I’m really excited to work with you to build a vibrant learning community that prepares young people to become successful adults.

There are 3 core values that will underpin our work at Preston HS:

  • Excellence – Learners engage in a rigorous curriculum that stimulate deep thinking, growth, engagement and action by students.
  • Inclusion – A school that celebrates and promotes the unique talents of every individual with opportunities for each child’s particular interests and passions to be explored.
  • Community – The enthusiasm of our families, students and teachers is harnessed and we maximise the opportunities we have with our exceptional location.
