[edit] Brief history
The building development of the school began in 1963. Prior to the development, the school had an enrollment of 150 students. Due to the incomplete construction, these students were transferred to Asquith Boys High School and Hornsby Girls' High School. They were segregated from the other students at their respective foster schools as they had their own uniform and classes. When the construction finally finished in 1964, students were able to start classes at their own school. However, the infrastructure of the school was still unfinished. The students and staff had neither electricity nor gas and the windows were unglazed.
[edit] Achievements
St. Ives High School has achieved consistent results at the Higher School Certificate with 15% of its Year 12 students awarded a HSC achieving an UAI of over ninety or more each year, higher than the state's average.
