New Classrooms
New permanent classrooms replacing temporary demountable facilities.
Permanent Classrooms
The completed upgrade will more than double the school's permanent capacity.
More Play Space
Additional space will be returned to students as demountable classrooms are removed.
Completion
The upgraded school is expected to be ready for students by Term 1, 2028.
A School Upgrade for a Growing Community
The Ponds High School has experienced extraordinary growth since opening in 2015, with enrolments quickly outgrowing the school's permanent capacity.
The upgrade will deliver 50 new permanent classrooms, including general learning, support and specialist classrooms, alongside two VET kitchens, two science labs, three wood and metal workshops and a new lecture theatre.
Students will also benefit from upgraded sporting facilities, new cricket nets, improved outdoor areas and 50 additional parking spaces.
As the new buildings are completed and the demountable classrooms are progressively removed, students will gain up to 7,000 square metres of additional play space.
