Established in 2002, the college operates across two campuses, each designed to provide age-appropriate learning environments and expanded curricular and extra-curricular offerings. 

## Educational Approach
At the Umina campus, the school employs a Middle Years education philosophy emphasising team-based teaching, learning skills, and the development of confidence and leadership among students. The unique Teaching Teams structure features Head Teachers and Team Leaders managing each of the eight teams in the Middle School, which has significantly contributed to the impressive growth in student performance in both literacy and numeracy. This improvement often matches or even exceeds state growth rates.
