[2] [3] It is administered by the Queensland Department of Education, with an enrolment of 1,176 students and a teaching staff of 98, as of 2023. [3] The school serves students from Year 7 to Year 12. [2] [3]
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]
In 2023, the school had a student enrollment of 1,176 with 98 teachers (92 full-time equivalent) and 54 non-teaching staff (44 full-time equivalent).
