History
The school opened 29 January 1963,[3] with an enrolment of 121 students.[4] This figure grew to over 1,300 in the 1970s.[4]
In October 2020, a contractor released asbestos particles after penetrating the ceiling and walls of a classroom to install air-conditioning.[5] On 24 November, a Workplace Health and Safety complaint was filed about the matter by a member of the public.[5] Seven weeks after the incident, on 27 November, the school closed four contaminated blocks and sent a letter to parents informing them of the incident.[5] The affected classrooms were ready for use in time for the beginning of the 2021 school year.[5]
