History

Beginnings

The idea for the school was conceived in April 1994, when Bishop George Browning invited Ian Heyward, one of the founding members of Gungahlin Anglican Church, to explore the possibility of building an Anglican school in the Gungahlin area. Members of Gungahlin Anglican Church, which, at that time, met as a house church in the premises of Ian and Margaret Heyward, promoted the idea of the school to the local Gungahlin community by letter-box drop and interest meetings. The school opened on 9 February, 1999, with an enrolment of 25 students. The school continues to recognise its historic connection to Gungahlin Anglican Church through an agreement made between its founding Principal, Mr Paul Browning and the Church Rector at the time, Rev. Malcolm Richards.

2000s

Over the years, the school has built a number of additional buildings and welcomed a lot of more students since its inception. Then in 2009, Not only did Paul Browning retire from his job as principal of Burgmann, and Mr. Steven Bowers replace him, [2] and amount that, the Forde campus opened to the K-2 part of the campus.
