Preston Primary School has a formal enrolment process. Students are automatically entitled to placement if we are your closest school (as the crow flies) or you already have another student enrolled at our school.
We maintain a ceiling on new enrolments as directed by the North-Western Region Victoria to manage the school's population and as such if you do not meet the above automatic entitlement you will be placed on a waiting list and ranked by your home's distance from the school (as the crow flies).
School Zone
Our school zone is available on findmyschool.vic.gov.au. Findmyschool.vic.gov.au hosts the most up-to-date information about Victorian school zones for 2020 onwards.
Students residing in this zone are guaranteed a place at our school, which is determined on the basis of your permanent residential address.
The Department provides guidance through the School Placement Policy to ensure that students have access to their designated neighbourhood school and the freedom to choose other schools, subject to facility limitations.
You can find more information and answers on the Department’s website under School Zones.

Uniform
The dress code at Preston Primary School has been implemented by the School Council to create a sense of collective and individual pride in students’ identification with Preston Primary School. In addition, a dress code provides parents/guardians with a cost-effective way to outfit their children for school and also provides the school with a means by which student and group safety can be maintained when not in the normal school setting. The dress code is specific and compulsory and contains a ‘hats’ statement for Terms 1 and 4.
Children are expected to wear uniform. Where children are unable to comply with the dress code, some form of communication, either written or phone, from the parent/guardian explaining the reason will be expected.
Summer Uniform
- Gold short-sleeved polo shirt
- Royal blue unisex shorts
- School dress or royal blue skort with gold polo
- Royal blue broad-brimmed “bucket style” hat Terms 1 and 4 (Sunsmart approved designs)
Winter Uniform

All orders are made on the Qkr! App.
Orders made through the week up to 4.30 pm on Thursdays are processed on Friday mornings and sent home with children.
Shoes and socks should be appropriate for school activities. For safety reasons, thongs and open-toed footwear will not be permitted.
Where religious beliefs require head-covering, it should be white. Where necessary, other items of uniform may be adapted to a style appropriate to religious requirements but should be in the correct colours. Any variation from the prescribed uniform, for whatever reason (religious, cultural, health), needs to be negotiated and approved by the Principal.
Parents/Guardians have the option of making or buying similar items from other sources.
