Review of high school closure possible

The NSW government has called for submissions regarding a review of the closure of Macquarie Boys Technology High School. In 2007, the minister for education and training announced the proposal to close the school effective from the close of the 2009-year. The school is now a senior high school catering for students in years 11 and 12. The school, established in 1956, was granted technology high school status in 1989. The Lachlan Macquarie College will provide extension programs for secondary students in the area in applied maths and science. UWSCollege will conduct diploma courses at Lachlan Macquarie College, adjacent to the Parramatta campus, and at its Nirimba campus, in Blacktown.
