Refer to the project page to stay up to date

As communities grow and change, the department sometimes needs to adjust local enrolment intake areas. These changes help keep enrolments balanced across schools and make sure every student can access high-quality public education in well-resourced, supportive learning environments.

The school is on track to open for Year 7 & 8 students in 2027. This means that in 2028, the school will cater for Years 7, 8 and 9, and in 2029 will cater for Years 7, 8, 9 and 10 and so on. The new high school will see its first Year 7-12 cohort in 2031. Students in older year groups will continue to be accommodated at other local high schools.

The new intake area is viewable via School Finder .

FAQ’s

I live in the intake area for the new school and have a child already attending Year 9 at our current local high school. Can I enrol them at the new school?

The new school will open for Year 7 & 8 students only in 2027.

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 allows the school to develop the culture, while establishing systems and processes in consultation with key stakeholders to reflect the school’s growing identity.

I have a child already attending our current local high school. Can I enrol their sibling/s at the same school even if I am in area for the new school?

Siblings of currently enrolled students will be assessed under the departments 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

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.
