Schools and Education

 A significant number of schools in Camden are at or over capacity, with only five public high schools serving 23 suburbs - immediate investment in education is needed.

With many young families and school-aged children choosing to call Camden home, timely access to education and early childhood education, including preschools, is essential. Camden is a family-oriented community, 59.2% of total households in Camden are made up of families with children, and the fastest growing age group in the Camden community are 0 – 4 year olds, who currently make up 9.4% of our population.

We call on Schools Infrastructure NSW and the NSW government to prioritise the immediate planning, funding and delivery of primary and secondary schools, with consideration for increasing the minimum size of school sites to address these concerns.
