Showground School

To the Speaker and Members of the Legislative Assembly, Castle Hill was promised a school; it’s time for the government to deliver, or 9,500 children will be without a school. We, the undersigned petitioners ask the state government to take immediate action on developing a new school in our community. For over a decade, promises of a new primary school have not materialized. Castle Hill and nearby areas are experiencing rapid population growth, leading to overcrowding in existing schools. The lack of adequate educational facilities is stressing families, teachers, and local infrastructure. The CAP of 5,000 apartments placed on the Showground Precinct was due to the need for a school, with assurances that this cap would not be lifted until a school was provided. However, Minister Scully has recently increased this cap to 9,500 apartments, yet no school has been built or committed. According to ABS, the average household has one child, resulting in 9,500 additional children in the Showground Precinct. We ask the Legislative Assembly to call on the Government to: 1. Immediately allocate funds for planning and constructing a new school in Castle Hill. 2. Provide a clear and binding timeline for the school's development and opening. 3. Engage in transparent communication with the community. 4. Ensure the new school is adequately staffed and resourced to meet our growing community's needs. This petition represents a critical need in our community. We urge the NSW Government to act swiftly and decisively on this matter.
