[edit] History

Was established in the 1950s and addition was complete in March 1996.

[edit] Outstanding fees issue

The school issued a new policy which was that if a student had outstanding fees they would not receive a timetable and not know their classes, barring them from the education which they have a right to. Someone contacted the Ministry of Education who contacted the School District's Superintendent who is making the school abolish the policy, because it is against the schools act.^{[citation needed]}
