About the project
The former Preston Girls’ Secondary College site re-opened as the new co-educational Preston High School in term 1, 2019, when it welcomed its first Year 7 students. Preston High School has an official and Facebook .
We refurbished the former school’s two-storey heritage building. We made use of the high ceilings and generously-sized spaces to create modern classrooms with space for art and science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) learning. On each level, there are breakout spaces for small group and individual projects. At the back of the main building is a central courtyard for students.
Community Engagement
We undertook community engagement in early 2017, asking parents, students, teachers and the wider community what sort of school they would like. More than 2,500 people participated in the engagement.
We summarised their comments in an engagement report, which has helped shape the school’s educational direction and the architect’s master plan. You can contact us for a copy of this engagement.
