The new site has adequate space for a high school that will accommodate up to 1,500 students. This includes space for a sports oval, multi-purpose courts, gymnasium, covered outdoor learning area, landscaped recreation areas and walkways between buildings. The size of building footprints, learning space inclusions and play spaces have been determined in accordance with NSW Department of Education guidelines.
Why is The Forest High School relocating?
Frenchs Forest is undergoing significant investment from the New South Wales government to improve infrastructure and transport links in the area. This investment is an opportunity to revitalise Frenchs Forest and create a new town centre for the community. As a result, the current site of the school will provide the benefits of the town centre, and the school will relocate to a new site.
