Ermington West Public School

Building Better Schools for Parramatta

As part of the NSW Government's plan to rebuild public education, the 2025-26 Budget is delivering $3.9 billion for new and upgraded schools in Western Sydney. This targeted investment will ensure growing communities get access to a world class public education.

Project overview

The NSW government is planning an upgrade to Ermington West Public School to renew existing school assets and provide additional support and preschool spaces.

The upgrade will include:

3 new support learning classrooms
new administration facilities
upgrade the existing hall to include Out of School Hours (OOSH) and storage
upgrade the existing classrooms
a new amenities block.

As part of NSW Government’s commitment to deliver expanded access to early childhood education, this school upgrade will also include a new public preschool for 40 children.

Progress summary

Planning is underway, and a Project Reference Group (PRG) has been established. The PRG includes school leadership representatives and is an advisory group that makes recommendations to the project team on the design and operational requirements for the school.

Planning for this project involves considering the demographic and educational requirements for the school and conducting site investigations and assessments.

Next steps

Over the coming weeks and months, planning activities will include:

continuing due diligence investigations such as surveys, traffic and transport studies, bushfire assessments and other studies that aid and inform the design of the school upgrade
refining the master plan
engagement with educational leadership and other government agencies as part of the
planning process.

A community information session will be held later this year to share designs and more details
about the upgrade with the community.
