The school was established in 1913. The buildings are modern inside, with much of the original architecture being retained. A recent building program has seen the development of: a state of the art two storey senior block (Years 4 -7); an Early Learning Centre located at the Wanslea centre adjacent to the school; and Music, Visual Arts, Library Resource and Inquiry Centres.
