Courtney Houssos MLC acting Minister for Education, Amber Hooker P&C Secretary and Sally Sitou MP for Reid.

Concord High School is entering an exciting new chapter with the opening of its new building—an achievement made possible through the tireless advocacy of our Parents & Citizens (P&C) Association. Their commitment, collaboration, and voice on behalf of students and families played a vital role in bringing this project to life, and the school community is deeply grateful.

The new building marks a significant step forward, all demountable classrooms will be removed and create a more cohesive, permanent learning environment. This shift opens up new opportunities for improved student wellbeing, better use of outdoor spaces, and a campus that truly reflects the quality of teaching and learning taking place within it.

Designed as a state-of-the-art facility, the new space supports contemporary teaching practices and demonstrates what is possible in public education. It is a clear investment in our students’ futures and a proud moment for the entire Concord High School community.

The students will start using the space on day 1 term 1 2026. Parents will have an opportunity to tour the school at the official Grand Opening on Saturday 28th February.

Concord High P&C is partnering with Burwood Girls High P&C to bring you a free parent webinar.

On Friday 18th October the school was honoured with a visit from the Minister for Education and Deputy Premier Prue Car. Alongside her was Federal Member for Reid, Sally Sitou. The groundbreaking ceremony or “sod turn” was a symbolic moment to mark the beginning of new building works now that all the demolition has been done.

The P&C attended this ceremony alongside student leaders from year 9 and 10 and representatives from the Senior Leadership Team. The ceremony also made the news.

The major upgrade will see 3 new buildings, including 40 new classrooms and the removal of 20 demountables from the school grounds once the new buildings are finished. As part of the upgrade project some minor refurbishment of 36 existing classrooms will also take place.

The upgrade will ensure the school has capacity for the number of students enrolled both now and in the near future, ensuringfamilies have the option to enrol their young person in their local co-educational high school.

 

As part of the NSW Government’s plan to rebuild public education, the 2024-25 Budget is delivering record education funding, including $3.6 billion for new and upgraded schools in Western Sydney. This targeted investment will ensure growing communities get access to a world class public education.

The upgraded Concord High School will have 40 new permanent classrooms across three new buildings which include:

• 32 new standard classrooms.
• specialist classrooms and learning spaces for visual arts, performing arts and PDHPE.
• a new support learning unit with 3 classrooms.
• new front facing administration and staff facilities.
• a new school hall.
• relocation of the library administration and demolition of walls to create more space for students and programs.
• upgrades to existing facilities (more details in July project update).

To make way for the new buildings, the current school hall and canteen (Block E) and sports courts will be removed. The new buildings will be adjacent to Stanley Street to allow for better access, improved security, and opportunities for future community use.

Once the construction of the new buildings are complete, the temporary demountable classrooms will be removed from site, these areas will then be landscaped and new sports courts will be provided.

Temporary arrangements for the canteen and student changerooms will be made for the duration of construction and will be available from Term 3 2024.

As part of the upgrade project, a portion of the budget has been allocated for minor refurbishment of selected existing spaces across the school.

This includes a minor refurbishment of the Theatrette (Block F) and light refurbishment of 36 classrooms and 10 learning commons.

This work will be undertaken by a separate contractor to the major upgrade works and will soon go to tender.

More details on the final scope and timeline of these works will be provided once a contractor has been appointed.

Concord High school is about to undergo a big transformation with the new development. There are however a few areas around the school that are in need of upgrades. Outside the side office is one of them. The P&C, with your help, would like to replace worn out bench seating with modern, high quality beautiful bench seating as pictured.

We would appreciate your donations to make this happen.

The P&C have a DGR (deductible gift recipient) building fund account and any donation above $2 is eligible to be claimed as a tax deductible donation. This fund is specifically to be used for the construction, improvement and maintenance of school buildings as stated  by the ATO. Donate before June 30th to claim the tax back.
