Box Hill Schools Opens With 847 Students, 34 Classrooms

Box Hill Public School opened on Day 1 of Term 1 in 2026 with capacity for 300 students from Kindergarten to Year 2 and plans to reach 600 students by Term 3 of the same year. The temporary Box Hill High School opened the same day serving Year 7 students across 12 temporary classrooms.

Enrolment and Capacity Numbers

The primary school started with places for 300 students in its initial phase. Expansion to 600 students is scheduled within the first three terms. The high school began with Year 7 intake only and will add Year 8 the following year. These figures come directly from the verified opening details for both temporary sites.

Site Locations and Future Timeline

Both temporary schools operate on George Street in Box Hill. Permanent buildings for the primary and high school are set to open on Day 1 of Term 1 in 2028 at Terry Road in Box Hill. The timeline shows a two-year period of temporary operation before the move to the permanent Terry Road address.

Investment Total and Growth Statistic

The schools form part of a $3.6 billion NSW Government investment covering new and upgraded schools across Western Sydney. Student population numbers in the community rose by over 1,000 percent from 2018 to 2023. These schools represent the first dedicated public schools established for Box Hill.
