In 2004 the school was selected to receive funding for the second stage of the
federal government's
Boys education initiative. Katherine Ward was the principal of the school in 2009. In 2011 construction commenced at the high school site of new classrooms to expand the campus to become a K-12 school. Both the existing Primary schools, North Merredin and South Merredin, have been amalgamated into the one college site. Besides new classrooms the school will also have new undercover areas,
canteen, music rooms,
medical clinic and a new staff room. Additionally the
library is to be extended and the existing high school rooms are to be refurbished. In 2009 the school had an enrolment of 302 students between Year 8 and Year 12, then 298 in 2010 and 288 in 2010. Once the school catered for students from K–12 the enrolments jumped and were 604 (with 287 between 8 and 12) in 2012. ==See also==
