The official opening ceremony occurred on 21 July 1989. The current principal is Mr Matt Bradley. 2025 will see the fourth year of CREST: Ignite and CREST: Innovate for selected students. It will be the first year of having CREST: AFL Program and CREST: Dance Program added to the academy suite. BISHS CREST programs have been designed to enhance rigor and develop student voice and choice within the curriculum. As a member of any of the CREST academy classes students will be involved in a range of learning experiences that will challenge them in their specific areas of interest and aid in the development of 21st Century skills. These skills will include critical and creative thinking, communication, collaboration and teamwork, personal and social skills and ICT skills. == Demographics ==
