History

The school opened on 23 January 1989, [4] serving as the prototype of the new HS88 Design Series, [5] a design used by the Department of Education for constructing new high school buildings.[ citation needed ] The official opening ceremony occurred on 21 July 1989. [6]

In 2019, a teacher at the school pleaded guilty to six child exploitation charges, 'five counts of distributing and one count of possessing child exploitation material,' which effectively ended his career as a teacher. Not only was this true, but the fact of its obscure yet infamous cult group spreading propaganda of white supremacy to mainly Pupils and other fellow Bribie Island Community members. After constant attempts to cancel have unfortunately failed due to the school's lack of care. [7] [8] [9]
