New High School

The State Government has confirmed it will build a new public high school for the growing Schofields and Tallawong area at 201 Guntawong Road, Tallawong.

The 50-classroom school will cater for 1,000 students and is due for completion before the start of Term 1 in 2027.

Tallawong and its surrounding suburbs have recorded the fastest student population growth in the recent Enrolment Growth Audit, with the overall population more than tripling between 2016 and 2021.

The school site is also being master planned for future expansion and will cater for significant growth around the Tallawong Metro Station, supporting the nearby mixeduse precinct and reducing pressure on nearby schools.

The site was identified following collaboration between the Department of Education, Landcom, the Office of Strategic Lands and the Department of Planning, Housing and Infrastructure (DPHI).

New Public High SchoolNew public schools are also being fasttracked in Box Hill, Tallawong and Gables as well as major upgrades at Rouse Hill High School and Schofields Public School.

Deputy Premier and Minister for Education and Early Learning Prue Car said: “It is fantastic to share where we will build the first new public high school for the growing communities of Schofields and Tallawong”.

Minister for Planning and Public Spaces Paul Scully also acknowledged the stresses on infrastructure faced by local residents: “As the NSW Government confronts the housing crisis, more homes need to be built across NSW and Western Sydney.

Our government is committed to making sure those homes are supported by new schools and infrastructure to make sure families have access to quality education and essential services close to where they live”.

“This new public high school investment complements our planning reforms that are focused on building better homes and better communities.”
