Controversy

In 2016 the school received media coverage when during an assembly, principal Mark O'Farrell shared an image of a man holding a sign reading "peace on earth" while standing behind his daughters and wife, who were gagged and tied up. Parents and students complained about the image to the school and an apology was later given.
