Planning is underway to build a new education campus for Jindabyne in the Special Activation Precinct (SAP), including a new primary school and a new high school. Once the transition is complete the existing school site will cease to operate.

The community will benefit from having modern education facilities, with innovative, sustainably designed learning spaces and the potential for joint community use. Both schools will have access to specialist learning spaces relating to the specific education pathways identified during consultation with school leadership and the community.

The schools will be equipped with modern facilities and new learning spaces for the growing student communities at Jindabyne. The primary and high schools will have new libraries, new halls, playing fields and open spaces. What will happen to the current school site? The current central school site is part of the greater SAP masterplan and future use will be determined as part of that process. Once the new schools are built and fully operational, the existing site will be decommissioned.

A Special Activation Precinct (SAP) is a dedicated area in a regional location identified by the NSW Government to become a thriving business hub. SAPs are unique to regional NSW and bring together planning and investment to focus on growing jobs and economic activity in an area.

The SAP and related investment means School Infrastructure NSW will assess how the current scope of the project will address the needs of the area alongside the broader future education picture.

School Infrastructure NSW will collaborate with other Government agencies to ensure feedback from the community, including the school, is obtained throughout the process.

A number of development options were considered, including continued use of the current school site. The options assessment process identified the Sport and Recreation precinct as the most suitable location for a new primary and high school for the Jindabyne community. The preferred site was chosen based on its suitability to support the current community needs, population forecasts and projected enrolment demand. Situated on the former golf course within the Sport and Recreation precinct, both schools will have the long term benefits of being adjacent to numerous sporting facilities, whilst having sufficient space for potential future expansion.

We are committed to working together with our school communities and other stakeholders to deliver the best possible learning facilities for students. Your feedback on this project is important to us.
