Principal’s Message

Dear Parents,

We warmly welcome you to our school webpage and hope you will take some time to view some of the fantastic programs and achievements of our community. Our school prides itself on providing the best possible start for our students as they prepare for their future endeavours. The school council strongly believes in a free education for all students and have committed to have no student fees.

Our school community is a snapshot of our eclectic and vibrant corner of the world. We embrace families from every corner of the globe. Our school staff and student body celebrate and embrace this cultural and religious diversity. Understanding that each of our students brings something special and all are enriched by the experience of belonging together and learning from each other.

Our accomplished and energetic staff will help your child to grow by providing an environment where children can develop their full potential. Our curriculum and school programs aim to produce not just outstanding students but outstanding people.

Our school has a tradition of high-level academic achievement in Literacy and Numeracy, with many of our children producing excellent results on a state and national scale. We have a vibrant sporting program which includes inter-school sport, bike safety and swimming education classes which are free to all students.

At Preston North East Primary School we encourage the active participation of parents. Opportunities for parent involvement will be provided throughout the year.

Our school community embraces the diverse cultural background of our students. We have Vietnamese, Cantonese, Arabic and Somali speaking support staff working with our families to improve student and parent engagement. We have mother-tongue Mandarin,Vietnamese and Italian language classes. We have a wide range of programs that embraces our First Nations families and their rich cultural heritage.
