History
[edit | edit source]Marsden High School opened in January 1959 under the name Ermington High School. It was renamed in March of the same year.[1] The original campus was located on Winbourne Street, West Ryde.
On 26 June 2018, the NSW Government announced that Marsden High School will be moving to the new education precinct at Meadowbank which is to be built on part of the TAFE NSW Meadowbank campus.[3] The school was relocated from Winbourne Street to the new purposely built site and opened on 27 April 2022.[4] The old site on Winbourne Street is under construction to be rebuilt as a new multisport facility.[5]
