Message from the Principal

Welcome back to the first newsletter of 2025, a space to celebrate student and staff achievements and share some news!

Welcome, particularly, to the 270 students joining us as the new Cohort 2030! We can't wait to watch your growth, academically and personally, as you become the leaders of tomorrow when you graduate from our school in 2030. And, welcome back from camp (photo below).

Our school opened in 2019 with just over 100 students and 10 staff members. Having now graduated those first students, our school has grown to 1,283 students and 114 members of staff in 2025! Official projections will likely see 1,370 students enrolled at Preston next year, with more growth to follow. It's an exciting time to be at Preston High School.

Our school community recently participated in elections for the School Council. I would like to thank all the student, staff and parent candidates for each of the electorate groups and welcome Samyak Subedi as a new Student member, Rana Erdal and Laura Mitchell as two new Staff members, and Warwick Mitchell as a new Parent member with Darren Findlow returning as a Parent member. The new council will co-opt community members at the first meeting in the new council Term.

Please check this newsletter's Parent Support page for some important information from the School and the Department of Education. With best wishes for the term break ahead,

Sean Butler

Principal
