History

The school was established on 1 January 2003.
During 2011, it was said that racial bullying at the school was 'out of hand,' with 5-6 lockdowns occurring within the past 3 years due to the problem. However, the regional director for the Department of Education at the time, Glen Hoppner, stated that the school did not have race-related problems.
In 2013, the school took part in an Australian-wide initiative called 'Day for Daniel' by dressing in red to honour the memory of Daniel Morcombe; a ‘Walk for Daniel’ also occurred.
The school was sent into lockdown after threats via social media were made toward the school in 2018, supposedly by a Year 7 and a Year 9 student; however, it was revealed later that it was not a student, but a 36-year-old woman, who was charged for the incident.
