NSW Education Minister Sarah Mitchell toured the construction site near Peter Hastie Oval in Wagga's northern suburbs on Thursday morning and said the project was on schedule despite the coronavirus pandemic.
"The school is on track to open for day one, term one for next year," she said.
Ms Mitchell said the government was "just finalising the gazettal for the name of the school and also the appointment of the principal".
"It is my understanding that those expressions of interest closed yesterday.
"Families at the moment if they are interested can put forward an expression of interest for the school and enrolments will open in a matter of weeks".
The $36 million campus will be able to accommodate up to 480 pupils when it opens for term one next year.
Ms Mitchell said the school would have "16 flexible learning spaces" that were "very different to traditional classrooms" and a school hall, administration building, library and canteen,
The Labor opposition has criticised the government for using prefabricated sections for the new school, which are transported in from Sydney or Queensland.
Ms Mitchell said the Estella school was one of the first to be built with the new prefabrication techniques and will be completed much faster than previous projects.
"Speaking to the site managers here today, they are estimating that we have got at least 50 local tradies working here on this job, which is fantastic," she said.
"When we are seeing this investment in school infrastructure, we really want to make sure there is local employment as part of that as well."

Site manager Brock Hooper said the project was it the "structure phase" with frames and suspended decks being put in place.
"The modules pretty much come in 80 per cent complete , obviously a lot of work happens off-site at factories and warehouses, where things are done in a much more controlled manner so they go together a lot quicker," he said.
"When it comes out on site we have a 250-tonne crane to put them in place and essentially stitch them together."
