New Building Update
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.
