Shortly after the school's opening, an agricultural plot was established, staffed by a part-time farm hand.

In 1980, the Camera Club's collaboration with students interested in journalism led to the publishing of the school's first yearbook.

Despite not receiving the funding, under the guidance of Industrial Arts teacher John Lawson, the school erected a colonial cottage that was relocated from Blacktown.

The structures were burnt down a decade later with the school maintaining the remains in what is now part of the expanded agriculture plot.

At Presentation Day on 15 December 2008, former Premier Nathan Rees promised that a school hall would be added to the state's Capital Works program.

Entry into vacant places in later stages is based on a reserve list, an exam and at times other criteria - mainly reports and academic achievements from previous years.
