History

The college was initially a junior high school accommodating years 8 to 10, but in November 2007 it was announced by the Minister for Education that years 11 and 12 would be accommodated in 2008 and 2009 respectively. A $10 Thousand building program commenced in July 2009 to complete the senior school facilities including science laboratories, a lecture theatre, trades area and a fitness centre.

The school consists of a block for each subject, a gymnasium, a library, an oval, a cafeteria, a Performing Arts area, and an Admin area. The school has an Academic Excellence Program - Academic Talent Program (originally called ATP, then SAP-Selective Academic Program, then GATE-Gifted and Talented Education, currently GAT-Gifted and Talented) which produces outstanding students, AFL football and golf development programs, Drama and Visual Arts extension programs, Music programs and a Media extension program.

The first stage of construction of the school was completed in May/June 2006.
