Established in 1903, the school has a non-selective enrolment policy and currently caters for over 850 students from the Early Learning Centre (ELC) to Year 12.

Since 1998, the senior class has raised funds for a humanitarian organisation of their choice via a charity concert held each year.

The class of 2011 raised $47,675 AUD for a small humanitarian organisation based in Melbourne- Front Yard Youth Services.

The school awards points to each house, based on house-wide achievements in a number of fields including sports and debating.

These points are cumulated at the end of the year, and the winning house is announced at the School's "Celebration Night".
