The school has a tradition of naming new facilities in a foreign language, the canteen is called Cibo Bello (Italian for 'beautiful food'), the gym is called inbarendi (aboriginal for 'meet one another'), the library is called Arnakalypsi (Greek for 'discovery') and the arts building is called Atelier.[3] The houses are Battunga (green), Naturi (yellow), Moorak (red) and Aroona (blue). The house names are local aboriginal words.

History
Cornerstone was established in 1990 as the first Christian secondary school in the Adelaide Hills area, having been first proposed in 1984.[2] In 2012, the college upgraded its logo but considers the image used above as the college's "crest". The crest will still be used on official governing council documents and executive letters made by the board. By 2014, the college will have introduced year 7's to the grounds under a plan made back at the start of 2010 by John Proeve (former principal).
