The school opened in January 1963 catering for 42 pupils and following a grant of 5.5 acres of land in 1969 a new school was opened in September of that year. A local benefactor donation of $100,000 saw the building of the school library in 2009 whilst a Federal Government grant brought about the building of a school hall that was completed in 2011. Staff with a strong commitment to ongoing personal, professional development is a key contributor to the schools’ ongoing success.
