Almost 15 new classrooms, a multi-storey block, a library and a revamped pedestrian entrance are part of changes planned for Pendle Hill High School under a State Government funding allocation.
Taylor Construction Group has been awarded the contract to upgrade Pendle Hill High School, making it a step closer to reality.
The project comprises the construction of a three-storey building, a main pedestrian entry on Binalong Rd, Toongabbie, 14 extra classrooms, a library unit, lecture learning unit, flexible learning spaces and staff development space.
The existing library (Block E) will be converted to classrooms and the administration area (Block A) will transform into a staff development and collaboration space. There will be upgrades to the existing carpark entry.
Seven Hills state Liberal MP Mark Taylor said the project would benefit students from Constitution Hill, Girraween, Old Toongabbie, Pendle Hill, Wentworthville and Westmead.
"This project will provide the local community with high-quality education facilities for our students and teachers to enjoy," he said.
"We have fantastic teachers and students and I can't wait for them to continue their work in an upgraded school.
"It is great to see progress and I know the community is looking forward to seeing works start."
Major construction works will start late this year and wrap up in late 2022, in time for term one 2023.
Trucks are planned to enter the construction site via Binalong Rd at Toongabbie.
The community will have a chance to have a say on the Pendle Hill High School works at information sessions at the school on May 6 from 8.30 am to 10.30am and 2.30pm to 4.30pm.
The government has allocated $6.7 billion over four years to deliver more than 190 new and upgraded schools across NSW.
The Planning Department will determine the application for the project, which is part of a $7 billion government allocation to deliver more than 200 new and upgraded schools across NSW over the next four years.
