Preston Primary School was established in 1875. It is a school with a rich and proud history of state education. In the 1950s it was one of the largest schools in the State. In previous times it has also been known as Tyler Street Primary.
Preston Primary is unique in that it is a multi site school. Student enrolments have risen from 511 in 2003 up to 721 in 2010. This significant increase led School Council to investigate and then apply for an enrolment ceiling of 700. The ceiling came into effect in 2008. Prep and Grade One children are located at the Bowden St site with Grade Two to Grade Six students at the Tyler Street site.
