Established in 1981, it is a partner school of Macquarie University.
The School caters for students from Kindergarten to Year 12, and is divided into Primary and Secondary sections. The school completed its multi-purpose hall named after Australian actress Marina Prior and a shared learning space called 'SCIL' named after the school's educational enrichment project of the same name in 2009.[3] The two buildings were officially opened by the school's Board of Directors and local MP Bronwyn Bishop.
The school is known for its inclusive nature, catering for a diversity of students. The school also has a strong policy against harassment, with a number of students suspended each year due to harassment complaints.
