[edit] History
The school officially opened in 2001, with only years 7 and 8, using the first school buildings as the official grounds. The grades gradually increased throughout the years. During the development period, the school had been recoginsed for their sporting achievements after winning a number of District premierships and awards. The school had gained great recogninstion in such an early stage of their history which very little schools had achieved. Nevertheless, it continued to be a strong school. In 2004, the school began on an extension project of the schools buildings, adding more blocks to the school which would be able to fit more grades and students in the years to come. In 2005, the school now had all their high school grades from 7-12. The number of students at the time reached over 1,500 and counting.
