History
The school opened on 19 August 1968,[5] by October the very same year, the school had an enrolment of 23 students.[6] The school had a singular rule in 1968, "Be Kind," where discipline in the school was minimal, to instill self-discipline within the students,[6] which has been stated to be "ahead of their time."[7] In 1972,[7] the school moved from Moggill Road, Kenmore,[8] to its present location in Pullenvale.[7]
In 1978, Lady Anna Cowen, wife of Zelman Cowen, opened the schools fete.[8]
During the Omicron wave of COVID-19 in 2022, the school managed to remain outbreak free, due to the research conducted by a group of individuals within the school community, and subsequently the implementation of air purifiers in the school's classrooms.[4][9]
