There are nine strategic intents laid out to help us focus on pursuing and achieving our mission.  These describe how our organisation is going to realize its vision both in the short and long term.  Our strategic intents provide the bedrock upon which all our policies are developed.  Here at Preston, we expect staff and students and all who have to do with us to take these strategic intents seriously and work with them towards achieving the goal of the school.
