Box Hill Schools Announce Opening Dates for Public and High School

Box Hill Public School began operations in temporary facilities on George Street for Kindergarten to Year 3 students on Day 1 of Term 1 in 2025, with plans to expand to Years 3-6 in Term 3 of that year. Box Hill High School is scheduled to start in temporary demountable classrooms on the same street for Year 7 students on Day 1 of Term 1 in 2026, serving an initial group of 300 students.

Staged Openings and Enrolment Access

Enrolments for families in Box Hill opened from 2025 to support the temporary phases of both schools. These steps follow the NSW Government allocation of $3.6 billion toward new and upgraded schools in Western Sydney, tied to the area's student population growth exceeding 1,000 percent between 2018 and 2023. The temporary sites on George Street provide immediate capacity while permanent buildings are prepared.

Transition to Permanent Facilities

Both the primary and high schools are set to move to permanent facilities at Terry Road on Day 1 of Term 1 in 2028. The high school will serve as the first public secondary school for the area. The combined design of the schools targets a total capacity of 3,000 local students once fully operational at the Terry Road location.

Funding and Growth Context

The $3.6 billion investment supports the Box Hill community through these school developments. Student population increases recorded between 2018 and 2023 prompted the funding decision, with the temporary George Street setups acting as the initial response before the 2028 permanent shift. Enrolment processes that began in 2025 continue to feed into these stages.

Parents and guardians can monitor updates through official NSW Government education channels for any adjustments to the Term 1 2026 high school start or the later Terry Road move. Information packs released in 2025 detail the timelines for families already enrolled or planning to join.
