As part of the NSW Government's plan to rebuild public education, the 2025-26 Budget is delivering $3.9 billion for new and upgraded schools in Western Sydney. This targeted investment will ensure growing communities get access to a world class public education.

As part of this investment, funding has been committed to progress with a new public preschool, primary and high school for Box Hill which will be located at 50 to 52 Terry Road, Box Hill.

Additional information

Frequently asked questions

When will construction start at the site of the new permanent schools at Box Hill?

We are still in the planning stages for Box Hill Public School and Box Hill High School. The next stage of the project will be to appoint architects, engineers and planners to develop a master plan and concept design. The project will require development approval. The formal process of gaining this approval is called the statutory planning approval process, which, along with the appointment of a contractor, will establish a timeline for construction starting and finishing.

Will construction continue at the temporary school?

We will continue to install the rest of the temporary buildings to welcome students from Years 3 to 6 on Day 1 Term 3 2025.

The area for these additional buildings is fenced off and will remain inaccessible to students and staff

until all works are completed. We will work with the school leadership to minimise disruptions to the

operation of the school whilst this work continues, this may include scheduling some works outside of school hours.

What year groups will Box Hill Public School located at the temporary site cater for?

Does my child need to change schools?

No. If your child is already attending another public school, such as Rouse Hill Public School, or has already been accepted into another school, you do not need to re-enrol. Your place at the school is not impacted by this change. The department encourages all students to attend the school they are zoned for and will have policies in place to ensure a smooth transition to the new school, including collaboration between staff from both schools to understand each student’s specific learning needs.

What will happen to the site where the temporary school will be built once the permanent school is finished?
