This school’s intake area is changing

At times it is necessary for the department to adjust a school’s local enrolment area. Intake area changes are happening to better balance enrolments, utilisation of assets and capacity across schools, ensuring students continue to have access to high-quality public education.

A new public school is opening in the suburb of Macquarie Park for 2027

A new public school is opening in the suburb of Macquarie Park for Day 1 of Term 1, 2027. Changes to the Kent Road Public School and North Ryde Public School intake areas can be seen by searching for each school on School Finder.

For more information about the new school visit the school project page on the NSW School Infrastructure Website via the link – Macquarie Park Public School .

The intake area is changing for all new enrolments commencing on or after Day 1, Term 1, 2027.

The new intake area is viewable via School Finder.

I have a child already attending this school. Can they stay there if I am now in a different school’s intake area?

Yes, they can. There is no change for students already attending this school.

I have a child already attending this school. Can I enrol their sibling/s at the same school?

Siblings of currently enrolled students will be assessed under the department's enrolment policy.

Families with a child currently enrolled at their assigned local school will retain the ability to enrol siblings at the same school, even if there are changes to the intake area boundaries that make their home address out-of-area.

How are new intake areas developed?

Many factors are considered to inform the development of new intake areas for example:

- enrolment trends

- opportunities to align with primary school local intake areas

- public transport access

- the size and utilisation rate of schools

- the number of students living in each proposed intake area

- and the physical capacity of schools to enrol students

New public preschool: Co-located public early learning at Ryde East Public School

A new co-located public early learning will be delivered at Ryde East Public School, ensuring local families have access to high-quality early learning close to home. The co-located public early learning will provide places for up to 80 children per week when completed in 2029. The new co-located public early learning is in addition to the NSW Government’s commitment to deliver 100 new co-located public early learning by 2027. The project forms part of the NSW Government’s broader strategy of investment in the Ryde area to cater for the growing population. The investment also includes Macquarie Park Public School, Macquarie Park new high school and an upgrade to Ryde Secondary College.

Maintenance

To ensure the safety, reliability and longevity of our schools, every school across NSW receives maintenance. The Department undertakes preventative and routine maintenance every year, and repairs as needed. The Department also reviews the planned maintenance program for each school every year and reviews those items that are predicted to require work to help prolong the life of the school buildings and facilities.

Demountables

Demountables have been part of the NSW education system for many decades and will continue to be used across the state. Demountable classrooms are modern, air-conditioned rooms that provide students and teaching staff with excellent quality facilities. The learning spaces have the same range of technology that is available in permanent spaces. We review school accommodation needs each year, looking at changing enrolment patterns and other factors to prepare for the upcoming school year. This helps to identify schools that need new demountables and schools where they can removed. Most demountable movement takes place between October and February and we report our annual demountable statistics each April. Additional demountable installations can occur outside this window to support capital works and maintenance projects in schools or emergency responses to natural disasters.
