The Forest High School relocation in Frenchs Forest will see students start the 2026 school year at a new campus in Allambie Heights, with some external works continuing after Day 1.
Day 1 Readiness And Remaining Works
The new campus at 189 Allambie Road is scheduled to open for Day 1 of Term 1 on Monday 2 February 2026.
Key internal areas, including classrooms and the library, are set to be ready for students at opening. Fit-out works, landscaping and boundary works were listed as being in final stages in late 2025.
Outdoor works, including sports field and court construction, as well as tree planting and landscaping, are planned to continue after the school opens.
Facilities And Capacity
The campus has been designed for up to 1,500 students and includes 73 classrooms and three special support units. Facilities listed for the site include a library, canteen and administration spaces, and a multi-purpose sports and performance hall.
Bike and scooter parking is available near the secondary entrance on Allambie Road.
Access Changes Around The Campus
Approved staging of public domain works allows the school to open with interim arrangements for safe travel and pedestrian access. Works include changes to bus stops on Aquatic Drive, a kiss-and-drop zone and a new pedestrian crossing.
A separate modification proposes retaining and upgrading the existing roundabout at Aquatic Drive and Allambie Road, rather than replacing it with a signalised intersection.
Farewell To The 1961 Campus
Students and staff farewelled the former campus in December 2025. The original school opened in 1961 and is set to be demolished as planning progresses for a Frenchs Forest town centre.
Next Steps
Equipment and resources are scheduled to be relocated during the school holiday period, with work planned to be managed to minimise impacts on school operations. External works, landscaping and pedestrian upgrades are scheduled to continue after opening.
