Leppington Stage 1

It is with great excitement that we announce the opening of our new Leppington Campus with state-of-the-art facilities at the start of 2024. Our purpose-built school is designed to deliver quality education to students from Kindergarten to Year 12, with the first stage accommodating up to 300 students in a primary school complex. When completed, Leppington campus will accommodate 1,000 students from Kindergarten to Year 12. Please refer to the master plan and stage 1 which is attached to this letter.

The wide range of facilities, amenities are designed to create an environment that encourages creativity, innovation, and academic excellence. This stage will open in 2024.

Furthermore, I am thrilled to announce that Amity College has been awarded $11.7 million from the Westinvest Fund to deliver the $14.3 million Amity College Leppington Campus - Stage 2 project. This funding will enable us to expand our campus and provide even more leading-edge facilities for our students. We are grateful to the State Government for awarding this grant to our school and thank them for their ongoing support.

Stage 2 of the project includes a primary school hall, 10 classroom learning center, bus bay, footpaths, road construction and associated infrastructure, a school oval, passive play spaces, a community garden, and an adventure playground that will be made available for use by the school community.

We will be accepting Kindergarten, Year 1, Year 2 and year 3 applications for 2024 and progressively add new year levels in the following years. On this note, we kindly ask you to let your friends and relatives know and advise them to contact us if they are interested in enrolling their children at our Leppington campus.
