Narwee High School

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Narwee High School (also known as the Narwee Boys High School) is a closed high school in the southern Sydney suburb of Narwee, New South Wales. It began life as a boys high school; however, due to declining ennrolments, the school became co-educational in the late 1980's. This was not a saving grace however, and due to a continuing decline in student numbers, the school was declared surplus to the needs of the New South Wales Department of Education and Training and was officially closed in 2001. The closure was associated with the reorganisation of high schools in the district, and the formation of the Georges River College whereby students from various local high schools feed into a senior college campus.

On November 5, 2003, a major fire broke out on the top floor of a three storey building in the disused school causing extensive damage. There are currently plans to redevelop the site for a mixture of low and medium density private housing, with preservation of some open space for public use. In late 2005, demolition work commenced and had been completed by March 2006.
