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]
