New education campus for Westmead, featuring preschool, primary and high school

A new education campus will be constructed in Sydney’s Westmead, providing expanded education options for children in Western Sydney. 

The new campus will be co-located within the Westmead Health and Innovation District and includes a new 1,000 student primary school with a preschool, and a 2,000 student selective high school.

NSW Premier Dominic Perrottet said the campus will enable partnerships with major hospitals, medical research institutes and university campuses, providing students with an integrated learning experience.

“We need to continue to look at innovative ways to better prepare our students for the jobs of the future whether that be in STEM, healthcare or medical science. That is exactly what this new way of learning will look to achieve,” he said.

“Students will be able to leverage off the world-class health and research facilities that are already located within the Westmead Health and Innovation District.”

“Working in partnership with local hospitals, universities and medical research institutes we have the opportunity to deliver a world-class teaching and learning facility as part of the Westmead Health and Innovation District,” added Minister for Education and Early Learning Sarah Mitchell.

The Westmead Education Campus will be funded through the NSW Government’s $5 billion WestInvest Program, which was established to fund transformative infrastructure projects across 15 Western Sydney Local Government Areas.
