History

The first principal since the opening of the school in the year 2000 was Principal Lance Godwin, who played a vital role in establishing the school in the early years. Due to unforeseen delays, the first students that entered through the school begun their year 7 studies in demountables behind Wyong High School. Only half of the school was developed when the students moved from Wyong High to the newly built facilities.
