Leppington Campus Development

The Leppington Campus is a purpose-built, co-educational school designed to provide high-quality education for students from Kindergarten to Year 12. Once fully completed, the campus will accommodate up to 1,000 students across both primary and secondary levels.

Stage 1 completed in May 2024, offers places for up to 300 primary school students. This stage features modern, state-of-the-art facilities, including 12 classrooms, a library, art and music rooms, staff areas, a small auditorium, multipurpose and pastoral care rooms, as well as dedicated play spaces. These facilities are designed to foster creativity, innovation, and academic excellence. Stage 1 was delivered for a cost of $29.5 million, with $7 million co-funded by the NSW Government through the Education Infrastructure Fund.

Stage 2 will provide additional capacity for 250 more students. It includes the construction of a primary school hall, 11 classrooms, a science laboratory, a bus bay, new footpaths, roadworks, and associated infrastructure. Additional features include a school oval, passive play areas, a community garden, and a playground available for use by the broader school community.

Amity College will receive $11.7 million through the NSW Government’s Western Sydney Infrastructure Grants Program. This program is part of a broader $2 billion investment delivering transformational infrastructure across Western Sydney.
