Wyndham College is a public senior secondary school located at Nirimba Fields, New South Wales, Australia.[1]
Established in 1999, its intake of students comes from three surrounding high schools: Quakers Hill High School, Riverstone High School, and Seven Hills High School. With Wyndham College, they make the Nirimba Collegiate Group of Schools. The Collegiate Group of Schools all operate independently of each other, but the four principals work closely together.[2] The college is situated on the Nirimba Education Precinct, co-located within: the University of Western Sydney, Blacktown, Western Sydney Institute of TAFE – Nirimba College, and St John Paul II Catholic College, Senior Campus.[3] [4]
Visual artworks completed by students from the college are regularly nominated and featured in Art Express.[5]
Wyndham College was named after the previous NSW Director General of Education, Harold Wyndham, who assisted in implementing the Higher School Certificate (HSC) for Year 12 students and the School Certificate for Year 10 students.[6] Wyndham College is built on the former site of the naval training base, and the campus derives its name "Nirimba Education Precinct" from this historical connection.[7]
