In 1957 pupils transferred to a new co-educational high school known as John Curtin and the old school served as an annexe for excess pupils until 1968.

Officially opened by the Federal Minister for Education Mr Kim Beazley Snr, on 23 November 1975, it was the first centre of its kind in the state.Date1970PhotographerEdmonds, MurrayPhotograph FormatSlideDigital ItemYes
