Below are the answers to some of our most frequently asked questions.
I live outside of Preston High School’s enrolment boundary. Can I still apply for entry into Preston high School?
Yes, you may apply for entry to the school. The DET’s placement criteria and priority order of placement will determine acceptance of your enrolment application.
