History

The school opened on 29 January 1974. [3]

In 2011, the prime minister of the time, Julia Gillard, visited the school to comfort the students involved in a major Slacks Creek house fire. [4]

During February 2015, the school was sent into lockdown after it was believed that a murder suspect, who was on the run, was trying to contact his kids, who were attending the school at the time. [5] The lockdown was lifted after the school grounds were searched and there was no sign of the suspect. [6]

A fire destroyed two of the school's classrooms and caused the evacuation of its students in 2015, [7] five students were treated for minor smoke inhalation. [8]
