Inaburra School is operated by Inaburra School Limited. The principal and all staff are employed by Inaburra School Limited.
The establishment of the Inaburra School can be credited to the Menai Baptist Church who originally wished to establish a Christian school in Menai. The church identified a need for a Christian school in the area due to its rapidly growing population and the lack of a government high school.
A portable building was erected close to the Billa Road site for the use of the preschool and church in 1980, and in 1982 Inaburra officially commenced as a secondary school in temporary accommodation at the Christian Education Center at Gymea Baptist Church.
The name 'Inaburra' was chosen as it is a local Aboriginal word meaning 'dream'. It also uses Aboriginal names for the clubs and sports colours.
