Library

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.

The project will deliver modern facilities to support flexible learning.

The school opened for Year 7 students on Day 1 Term 1 2025.

Wentworth Point High School was also part of an Australian-first Culture Standard pilot program at NSW construction sites to improve facilities, working conditions and boost the number of women in construction.

Frequently asked questions

How do I enrol?

Parents/carers can now enrol directly with the high school by completing an online application via the QR code or this link: https://edu.nsw.link/WentworthPointHS-Enrol

A paper-based application form can also be collected from any public school and submitted to the high school through your local school.

For more information about high school enrolment and next steps visit: https://education.nsw.gov.au/schooling/parents-and-carers/choosing-a-school-setting/enrolment/high-school-enrolment

Any questions about enrolment can be directed to the school via email at: wentworthpoint-h.school@det.nsw.edu.au

What year groups did the school open with and why?

The school opened to Year 7 students in Term 1 2025. This means that in 2026 the school will cater for Year 7 and 8, and in 2027 it will cater for Year 7-9 and so on. The new high school will see its first Year 7-12 cohort in 2030. Students in older year groups will continue to be accommodated at other local schools..

This staggered enrolment process is normal for new high schools across the state. The process of growing a school allows adequate numbers of students and teaching staff to deliver a full curriculum based on the elective preferences of the students at the school. The gradual process also allows the school to develop the culture, while establishing systems and processes in consultation with key stakeholders to reflect the school’s growing identity.

What if I have an older student at another school? Can my children stay at the same school?

What is the intake area?

The intake area is available on School Finder. To check what intake area you live in, visit schoolfinder.education.nsw.gov.au and type in your address.

This intake area is based on up-to-date enrolment figures for the area, and suitable sustainable travel options and public transport routes. The intake area may change in future years as the demographic needs shift in the area. If the demand for local enrolment exceeds the number of places available, out-of-area enrolments will not be available.

When will the hall, sports courts and landscaping work start and finish?

Pending approval and award of the contract, we anticipate the work on the hall, sports courts and additional landscaping to start in mid 2025. Work will start on the hall, and the top sports court, and will be followed by the courtyard landscaping. Work on the second sports court and the relocated bicycle parking will take place last alongside the final works on the Wentworth Point Public School upgrade.

We anticipate all work to finish early 2026.

We are now seeking formal planning approval to start Phase 2 works on the new high school. These works are pictured in detail in the December 2024 project update and include:

Multipurpose hall including a multipurpose sports court and raised stage that will connect to the existing amenities building which is already built.
Outdoor sport courts including two multipurpose sports courts.
Courtyard landscaping including new trees, additional seating and shading structures, and
Bicycle parking that will include secured storage for bicycles close to Burroway Road for easy access.

To accommodate these works, the existing bicycle parking, ping pong tables and herb garden will be relocated.

The work is expected to be undertaken a section at a time, to minimise impacts to the school while ensuring the work is completed as soon as possible.

Section 1 – Multipurpose hall building
Section 2 – Sports court A and surrounding landscaping
Section 3 – Internal courtyard landscaping and shade structure
Section 4 – Sports court B, bicycle parking and relocation of ping pong tables and gardens.

What will be the impact to students and staff while this work is being done?

We will continue to work closely with the leadership at both Wentworth Point High School and Wentworth Point Public School during works. During the work, construction hoarding will be set up to ensure that students are not impacted. Noisy works will be organised around key school events or exams to minimise the impacts.

The work will be staggered so students will have access to a sports court at all times during the work. When the hall is finished this will also include an indoor sports court. As the school is opening with one year group at a time, there is enough space to accommodate the students around the work.

More details on construction impacts will be provided after a contractor is appointed.

When will the school have access to the new road and proposed sports field?

Early works have commenced on the adjacent Wentworth Point peninsula park, with Landcom overseeing the project. These works include the development of the road and car park next to Wentworth Point High School, along with preparations for a future playing field behind the school. We anticipate this will be complete early 2026 but will provide further updates on the timeline for completion of these works as they become available.

New and upgraded public schools for the growing Wentworth Point community

Wentworth Point families are set for a major education boost with the beginning of a major expansion to Wentworth Point Public School.

Get involved

We are committed to working together with our school communities to deliver the best possible learning facilities for students.
Opportunities for school communities to get involved in the project will be shared on this page.

Public exhibition of Phase 2 works

The amended planning report to start the Phase 2 works has been lodged with the Department of Planning, Housing and Infrastructure (DPHI). The public exhibition period ended on Friday 10 January 2025. Submissions are currently being reviewed and considered as part of the modification process. The modification application will be assessed by the department’s Planning Assessment team, who will determine the outcome of the proposed modification. The determination, with any modifications, will be published on the NSW Planning Portal:

Please note: the amendment is listed under the name ‘Sydney Olympic Park new high school’ as a formal name for the school had not been decided at the time of the original application.

Community consultation update

Community consultation is now complete. The uniform and logo designs have been decided and uniforms have gone into production. Further values consultation was carried out with current students of the school in early 2025.

Please see the links below for the final school motto, logos and uniforms.

Past consultations

In June 2024 we undertook a survey on the values, uniform, logo, compulsory language and operational hours for the new high school. 268 parents, students and community members provided feedback.

When asked about ideas for the logo, some common ideas and preferences arose, which formed the basis for the ongoing design development. These included:

local flora and fauna
the location on the Parramatta River
a shield shape
traditional and modern logo designs.

When asked about uniform preferences, the majority of responses highlighted the desire for:

a uniform more formal in nature to reflect the values of the community
high quality uniform items
flexible clothing options for use throughout the year to provide students with choice.

Interested community members were able to opt in to ongoing consultation or to submit logo ideas for consideration. After a number of design workshops incorporating the feedback from surveys about styles and ideas, some logo concepts were developed by a local designer.

A survey closed Sunday 7 July 2024. Feedback was requested on the new school logo, uniforms, bell times, language and values.

Submissions closed on Sunday 25 August 2024 for feedback on the proposed school jacket, sports uniform and everyday uniform.

The community was further consulted on logo concepts for a formal and shorter initials logo. Submissions closed on Tuesday 10 September 2024.
