History

The school opened 25 January 1960. To improve Indigenous road safety, in 2005, the school created a Driver Awareness Program Workbook, which aimed "to prepare students to successfully sit for their learners' theory test." It was specifically designed for students with literacy difficulties. In March 2018, some students and staff were sent home as a precaution due to rising flood waters, however the school remained open. In 2021, the school was the first state school in Queensland to offer the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine.

Sport Houses

The school consists of four sport houses, McKinlay, Kennedy, Leichart and Gregory.
