Parramatta Public School redevelopment

project banner

The project to redevelop the Parramatta Public School is complete. 

The redevelopment and expansion of Parramatta Public School is the priority project to meet growth in primary student populations in and around Parramatta. It is a unique opportunity to provide a school centrally located in the heart of the Parramatta CBD. The school showcases multi-storey education facilities in response to metropolitan Sydney's increasing student community.

The learning spaces are technology-rich to serve multiple learning contexts from large class groups to small clusters, providing better opportunities for collaboration and personalised learning.

The department is delighted to deliver this landmark education precinct for students, families and the broader community.

  • A new multi-storey public school for 1,000 students on the original school site.
  • 40 permanent, flexible learning spaces and support areas.
  • Modern indoor and outdoor landscaped spaces.

The benefits

  • Readily accessible and flexible facilities to meet the demands of an evolving curriculum in line with innovative learning principles.

  • Flexible and well-connected teaching and learning spaces.

  • Spaces that are engaging and supportive for students and teachers.

  • Technology-rich settings with an emphasis on mobility and flexibility.

  • Capacity to support comprehensive curriculum delivery with a full range of specialist teaching spaces.

  • A healthy and environmentally sustainable environment.

  • Innovative, connected outdoor spaces that enable play and collaborative learning.

  • Refurbishment and adaptive reuse of all existing heritage buildings.
