History
[edit | edit source]Prior to the schools opening, the land was a plantation of pine trees,[3] the school opened on 1 January 1992.[4]
In September 2008, it was believed the school was one of many locations of a cancer cluster,[5] due to eleven staff members contracting cancer within the past few years,[6] with three cases being diagnosed since November the previous year.[3] Two of the eleven cases, however, were pre-existing before the staff members arrived at the school.[3] It was investigated by the Queensland Government[7] after the cases had been identified[8] and was declared safe in December 2008, after finding no evidence of contamination in the soil, water or the air.[7] If it would have deemed unsafe, the school would have been abandoned.[9]
