Box Hill Schools Move to Temporary Sites; 2028 Permanent Facility Opens

Box Hill High School opened in temporary demountable classrooms on George Street for Year 7 students on Day 1, Term 1, 2026, and is expanding to include Year 8 in 2027. This follows the earlier opening of Box Hill Public School in temporary facilities on the same street.

Timeline for the Permanent Campus

The new permanent preschool, primary, and high school facilities are scheduled to open on Terry Road on Day 1, Term 1, 2028, replacing the temporary George Street sites. Planning and construction decisions for this move are now the immediate priority for education authorities.

Scale of the Temporary High School Setup

The temporary high school includes 12 classrooms plus a library, science lab, TAS kitchens, and workshops. It is initially catering to 100 Year 7 students before growing to 300 Year 7-8 students, providing a clear benchmark for the capacity that must be matched or exceeded at the permanent location.

Broader Infrastructure Investment Context

The NSW Government's $3.9 billion Western Sydney school infrastructure investment will deliver 240 new permanent classrooms in Box Hill and surrounding areas to accommodate 5,500 additional students. This funding underpins decisions on how many of those classrooms will be allocated to the Terry Road site and how the transition from temporary to permanent facilities will be sequenced.

Parents and local planners are now tracking the detailed project milestones for the Terry Road campus and the allocation of classrooms from the wider investment to ensure the 2028 opening meets expected demand. Updates on construction timelines and enrolment pathways will determine the practical steps families take in the coming terms.
