Major upgrade announced for Nangamay Public School
More classrooms are on the way for Nangamay Public School with a major upgrade announced, as the Minns Labor Government continues its groundbreaking investment in public education.
Due to start construction in 2026, the project will enable more students to attend the school, increasing its enrolment capacity from 500 to almost 900 students. The major upgrades are expected to be complete by late 2027.
The upgrade will almost double the number of permanent classrooms at the school, including a new two storey building with 16 state-of-the-art classrooms, multipurpose spaces, a new covered outdoor learning area (COLA), a new sports field and shared common areas.
The project will also see new staff car parking spaces, landscaping and the refurbishment of an existing classroom into a support learning space.
By 2041, more than 2,500 new dwellings are planned for the rapidly expanding Glenmore Park community. These new upgrades will address anticipated population growth in the area.
Community members are invited to attend an information drop-in session on 17 December 2025 from 3pm to 7pm at Nangamay Public School. School parents will also be able to view the designs on 11 December following the school presentation ceremony.
Across the Penrith LGA, construction is well underway on the new high school for Jordan Springs and the Kingswood Public School upgrade. Together, the projects will see almost 60 new classrooms built and ready for students by Day 1, Term 1 2027.
These are part of 230 new and upgraded public high schools, primary schools and preschools being delivered across NSW by the Minns Labor Government – the largest single build of public education infrastructure in the state’s history.
These projects are part of the Minns Labor Government’s investment in rebuilding public education, which is delivering $3.9 billion for new and upgraded schools in Western Sydney, a targeted investment that will ensure growing communities get access to a world class public education close to home.
The Minns Labor Government is also working to ensure that there are more teachers in classrooms, by reducing teacher vacancies by 73 per cent in the electorate of Penrith and 61 per cent across the state, leading to the number of merged or cancelled classes recorded in NSW nearly halving.
Acting Minister for Education and Early Learning and Acting Minister for Western Sydney Courtney Houssos said:
“Glenmore Park and Mulgoa Rise are expanding rapidly, and this major upgrade will ensure we meet that growth.
“After more than a decade of underinvestment in our schools by the Liberals and Nationals, these projects across Penrith demonstrate our commitment to catching up on works that should have been delivered long ago and future-proofing growing communities.
“The Minns Labor Government, with the advocacy of Deputy Premier Prue Car, is committed to delivering better public schools, and this investment guarantees local children have to modern, state-of-the-art facilities they deserve.”
Bob Nanva MLC, State Government Spokesperson for Badgerys Creek said:
“This is a great part of the world, and a wonderful community – there is little wonder that so many families want to live in Western Sydney.
“Local families need and deserve high-quality public schools, and that is just what Labor is delivering.”
Principal of Nangamay Public School Sharon Gordon said:
“Our school is a coveted choice for local parents and enrolments continue to increase. This new upgrade will mean more classrooms for our students, enabling us to offer even more places to local families moving forward.
“We have high expectations of Nangamay students. The increased space and modern resources delivered as part of this upgrade will help us to provide our pupils with the very best environment to flourish as they learn.”
