History
Establishment
In 1965 two priests, Father Ian Mackintosh and Father Dennis Mcarthy of the Missionary Oblates of Mary Immaculate, with aid from Member of Parliament Kenneth Dunn had approval from the Western Australian Government to begin land clearing to build the college. Land clearing began in may 1965, with the first buildings finished in a year. The school opened to 6 and 7th grade students in February 14th 1966. The school officially opened on the 8th May 1966, with a Boarding school facility opening the next year. The school was founded by the Missionary Oblates of Mary Immaculate, and is a Fee-paying Private Education Secondary school.[2]
Subsequent history
The school has had significant changes since its establishment in 1966. Between 2006 – 2010, the college built a new administration building and new student facilities in the north side of the campus.[3] In 2018, the college built a state of the art D & T centrecentre, offering students access to facilities useful for an Apprenticeship. The college has modern facilities supporting a modern 21st century education system. The school caters to all students with University programmes and apprenticeship programmes, for older students.[4]
