About the project

Library

A new high school is being developed to cater for the growing population in the Wentworth Point, Sydney Olympic Park and Concord West communities. A site has been identified on Burroway Road, Wentworth Point.

The project will deliver modern facilities to support flexible learning.

This project was formerly named the ‘Sydney Olympic Park new high school’. The new high school will be named closer to its opening.

The State Significant Development application for the project has been approved and work has started on site.

Wentworth Point new high school has also been announced as 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.

Progress summary

Construction started on 31 October 2022 with site establishment and remediation work.
Piling works to prepare the foundations of the buildings are progressing. This includes bulk excavation, installation of retaining walls, lift pits and drainage pits.
An electrical pole was recently removed from site by Ausgrid.
Following SSD approval and the appointment of the contractor, we can provide an update on the timeline for the new high school. It is expected that the new high school will be open for Year 7 in 2025. More information will be shared in the new year.

Next steps

Crane delivery and erection, and pouring of the concrete foundation slab.
Formal school naming process in consultation with the community in 2023.
Once the City of Parramatta has approved the Transport for NSW modification to change the location of Ridge Road to allow for new playing fields, a State Significant Development modification will be submitted to the NSW Department of Planning and Environment for Phase 2 of the high school.
