The momentum behind this building demand for a new high school proves that we are no longer willing to let the Department of Education ignore our children. They think they can pack thousands of kids into one overcrowded campus and call it an education but we are proving them wrong. We have finally forced them to pay attention to this crisis.

we do need another high school not only is picton high over crowded but so is camden high so another public high school would be eonderful
Another high school was promised 30 years ago. Now the population has grown and the situation is dire. Picton High was built for about 800 students. The crowding has a bad effect on behaviour. I know - I have taught there on and off during 30 years. Now I fear for my grandchildren' education.
my first born is in year 3 and this issue has been a concern for me since he started school.
As a teacher I saw the school grow from 700 to 1300 -it is waaay past time for another high school as the population continues to grow and many new estates planned.
Moving to the Wollondilly Shire this week I considered all my options for my children's schooling. Picton High which is way over capacity is not a suitable choice. I've had to enrol my children at the local private school so they don't become lost in close to 2000 students. The State & Federal Governments need to step up! An age old problem going by Parliamentary minutes - build another High School and fast!
I heard through the grapevine that bingara may eventually get a high school??? Anywhere close would be a grand plan!
We need another public high school.

With so many young families moving to the area this is definietly needed right now, its going to bottle neck out of control in the coming years.
