More on Randwick

Construction is now underway on a major upgrade that will transform the Randwick High School ahead of the 2027 school year.

Delivered by the NSW Government as part of its commitment to strengthening public education, the project is on track for completion by Day 1 of Term 1, 2027. The upgrade will provide students with modern learning spaces designed to support a broad range of academic, creative and vocational opportunities.

At the heart of the redevelopment is a new two-storey building featuring contemporary classrooms, a lecture theatre and administration facilities. The school's performance hub will also be revitalised with additional classrooms and dedicated music practice rooms, while a new marine science learning hub will include specialist workshops and teaching spaces. Visual arts facilities and administration areas will also receive a significant refresh.

Students and visitors can also expect improved accessibility across the campus, with a new Rainbow Street entrance, additional lifts, stairways, pathways and landscaped outdoor areas. Air conditioning will also be installed in classrooms to create more comfortable learning environments throughout the year.

Transition to co-ed learning at Randwick High School

The latest works build on the successful first stage of improvements completed in 2024, which prepared the former Randwick Boys' and Randwick Girls' high schools for their transition into a single co-educational campus. Those upgrades included modern science laboratories, new Technology and Applied Sciences and food technology facilities, an indoor fitness hub, running track, refurbished canteen and expanded shaded areas, as well as the removal of the fence that had long divided the two schools.

Since becoming co-educational at the beginning of 2025, Randwick High School has expanded its curriculum to include additional languages, vocational education and training pathways, Engineering Studies, Software Engineering, Geography, Dance, Drama, Design and Technology, and Community and Family Studies. Enrolments have also grown, with 1,520 students now attending the school—60 more than the combined enrolments of the former single-sex schools before they merged.
