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.

It is expected that the new high school will be open for Year 7 in 2025

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.
