Founded by Reverend Canon Gavin Ott and Dr. Hugh Bartholomeusz, the school originally boasted thirty-eight hectares of land, including a dam and fertile farmland. Later, the school expanded to 44 hectares after acquiring land.
On 6 February 1994, the Governor General at the time, Bill Hayden, officially opened the school.[6]
