To enrol your child in Year 7 for 2025, you will need to complete an Expression of Interest for Year 6 to Year 7 transition. The Expression of Interest (EOI) lets you indicate which school(s) you would like your child to attend in Year 7.
The EOI process will be available online from 6th March – 31 March 2025 and accessed through the Prestons Public School website. After you submit an EOI and it has been assessed, your child will be offered a place at a high school.
If your child will not be attending a NSW Government high school next year, please let us know by completing a Placement Not Required form.
If you are unsure whether they will be attending a NSW Government school (you’ve applied for a private school, or you are moving interstate), we ask that you still complete an EOI and follow up with your school once a decision has been made.
The online process will guide you through your options and collect the information required to make the process as smooth as possible.
For parents or carers who are not able to complete an application online, a paper EOI form can be collected from the school office.

To submit your EOI (Expression of Interest) or PNR (Placement Not Required) for your child please visit the Prestons Public School website, click on the Enrolment Tab and then the Moving to high school section. (Digital link will be available from 6th March – 31st March 2024)
Please contact the office if you have any questions or need assistance with this process.
