The Minns Labor Government has revealed the first designs and confirmed the site for a new public primary school with co-located public early learning for Marsden Park South, which will meet the needs of this rapidly-growing area.
The Department of Education has secured a site at 1070 - 1082 Richmond Road in Marsden Park for the new school, which will open on Day 1, Term 1 in 2029.
The new school will provide capacity for 1,000 students, with 44 modern classrooms and three support learning rooms, alongside a multipurpose hall, library, administration and staff facilities, a playing field and sports court, as well as a kiss and drop zone, bus stop, and staff parking.
A co-located public early learning centre will also be built alongside the new primary school, giving local families access to quality early learning with a single drop-off for siblings at the new school.
Marsden Park is one of NSW's fastest-growing communities, with the former Liberal Government failing to deliver the essential schools to meet the needs of local families.
This new school complements the new Melonba Public School and Melonba High School that Labor delivered to meet enrolment demand in the area.
The brand-new school will also provide a new home for students and staff at Marsden Park Public School, which sits on a highly constrained site and has relied on demountable classrooms to accommodate enrolment demand since 2018.
The project forms part of the Minns Labor Government's record investment in public education, with $9.2 billion committed to school infrastructure over the next four years, including $4.1 billion for new and upgraded schools across Western Sydney.
In North-West Sydney alone, 25 new and upgraded schools are being delivered that will add permanent capacity for more than 17,000 public school students, with 800 modern classrooms replacing more than 160 ageing demountables.

Deputy Premier and Minister for Education and Early Learning, Member for Londonderry Prue Car said:
"Marsden Park is one of the fastest-growing communities in the state, and as both the local Member and Education Minister I am making sure school infrastructure keeps pace as families move into the area.
"Securing this site is an important step towards delivering the world-class permanent school facilities local families deserve, with room for 1,000 students and co-located public early learning centre alongside it.
"I encourage everyone in the community to come along to the information session, view the concept designs and share their feedback."
Principal of Marsden Park Public School David England said:
"Our school has grown alongside the Marsden Park community, and these new facilities will offer the modern space and resources necessary to support our students' future success.
"We are excited to work with families and the broader community as we get ready to move into our new facilities in early 2029."
