The school was established on former farm land which was gifted to the local church for the establishment of the school. Local church member, Kevin Chugg built two classrooms at a total cost of $16,000.[2]
The school buildings have also changed over time. As early as 1995 the school only had two buildings, the white building at the top of the school (which has been removed) and the old primary school rooms (which have been removed).
Primary school students are encouraged to set their minds to work, including learning to play games such as chess.[3]
The high school also has a choir, formerly called "Zealos". Led by two of the school's teachers, this choir has toured Queensland and Northern New South Wales as well as Victoria, and have even recorded their own album entitled "Better Way" which was put together entirely by the students.
