History
editOpened by the Director General of Education Dr Robertson in February 1955,[citation needed] the school operated as a junior high school with 357 students. In 1962, the primary school split from the high school and the number of enrolments fell to 264 students from Year 8 to Year 10. The school farm commenced operation in 1956.[3] The school became a senior high school in 1995 offering a range or subjects to Year 11 and 12 students.[4]
