Opened in 1992 as a specialist centre for advanced-level study, the Principal of the college is Jayne Clarke.

Students at the college are also able to take enrichment courses which are held once a week on a Wednesday afternoon.

The college takes on nearly 1200 students each year, the majority of which have just completed compulsory secondary education.

After several months of internal building work, the formerly vacant office block was transformed into the Regional Science Centre, which not only houses science lessons for OSFC but is also visited by pupils from local primary schools.

It also hosts lectures for students held by science professors and experts from different fields.
