High school options in the eastern suburbs are very limited. While there are many private schools in the region, fees can be out of reach for families, especially at a time when other cost of living expenses are rising, enrolments come from near and far and close years before school begins and many parents prefer co-education. Existing public schools are at capacity while residential growth for the region is set to boom.

With Member for Wentworth Allegra Spender and Woollahra Mayor Susan Wynne, I’ve written to the education minister calling for urgent planning to start to find a site and build a public high school in the region. The longer we wait, the harder it will be to secure land as more sites are sold to developers.
