History

Established in January 1959, Marsden High was originally named Ermington High School until March 1959, when it gained its present name. It was located on at 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. The school was relocated from Winbourne street to the new purposely built site and opened in 27 April 2022.
