After the high school closed the premises were used for the storage of furniture and equipment in relation to the Department's Distance Education Program.

John Murray MLA, who disclaimed in the NSW legislative assembly on 22 October 1991: "I draw the attention of the House to a complete waste of taxpayers' money on a classic example of the failure of this Government's schools closure program, which has developed into a fiasco in the Drummoyne area.

Honourable members will recall my protests in the past two and a half years against the Government's plans to close Drummoyne Boys High School.
