Castle Hill is a suburb of Sydney located 45km north-west of the Sydney CBD. The area is generally referred to as the Hills District. Castle Hill Public School, a New South Wales government school, was founded in 1879 and lessons commenced on 12th July 1880. At that time, Castle Hill was a rural community and the original building comprising a single classroom and teacher’s residence provided for sixty-four students.        

As the school and its community grew, additional land was acquired and buildings added. In the late 1980's there were 1,500 students enrolled but with the building of other schools nearby, the student population has settled at around 800 boys and girls. In 1992, the decision was made to relocate Castle Hill Public School and a site was acquired. Building commenced mid 1997 and the new Castle Hill Public School was completed in October 1998.

 Today CHPS students enjoy a new school with state-of-the-art facilities provided by the NSW Department of Education and Training and the efforts of the school's parent community.
