From 1936 to 1967, students from Primary classes to Leaving Certificate level attended the college, but in 1967, in co-operation with the nearby De La Salle College in Caringbah, the present structure of a Senior College for Years 11 and 12 only was established.

In 1975, the College admitted girls for the first time, accepting school certificate graduates from Our Lady of Mercy College, Burraneer. In 1990 the Catholic Education Office, Archdiocese of Sydney took over administrative responsibility for the college.
