New public high school to be built in the heart of rapidly-growing Jordan Springs

The high school will open on Day 1, Term 1, 2027 with capacity for 1,000 students, and is being masterplanned for future growth. The school was a key Labor election commitment and forms part of a record $3.5 billion investment in new and upgraded schools for Western Sydney.

The record investment in Labor’s first budget begins the job of undoing years of neglect under the former Liberal National Government, which failed to properly plan for schools to meet the needs of families in Sydney’s growth areas.

The NSW Labor Government’s targeted investment in growing communities will ensure working families have access to a world class public education.

The new high school will be located on Infantry Street, Jordan Springs, a five-minute drive from Jordan Springs Public School.

Work to finalise the masterplan and design for the new school is continuing with acquisition of the new site to be finalised shortly.

Deputy Premier and Minister for Education and Early Learning Prue Car said:

“This is fantastic news for the Jordan Springs community, who fought for years for local public schools and under Labor will finally get a local public high school.

“In three years’ time, a brand new high school will be located here in Jordan Springs to serve the communities of Jordan Springs and Ropes Crossing.

“The former Liberal National Government failed communities like Jordan Springs where rapid residential development was approved without proper planning or investment for local essential services like public schools.

“I cannot wait to share progress on building this brand new high school as we get on with the job of delivering it.”
