A new library was constructed for the school in 1976,^[4] and during 1988, "a multiuser microcomputer system" was trialed at the school.^[5]

In November 2017, a significant marking error at the school was identified by the principal, which downgraded many students' papers, with the Department of Education admitting that it could affect some students being able to attend university.^[6]
