2010 when a teacher set an assignment asking the students how they would launch a chemical or biological terrorist attack on an unsuspecting Australian community to kill as many civilians as possible. The assignment was withdrawn after students complained. The teacher was counselled. In May of the same year, a male teacher was assaulted by a 13-year-old girl, the girl hit the man several times and was later charged by police for assaulting a public officer. The girl pulled out clumps of his hair and hit him with a bin, she had to be pulled off the teacher by his colleagues who heard his screams. Another incident occurred in 2010 when a relief teacher was dismissed after students pushed, swore at and assaulted him. The teacher was ordered to leave the premises but later took the WA Department of Education to the industrial relations commission. It was found that the teacher was unfairly dismissed, the students involved having a history of falsely accusing teachers, and the department was ordered to rehire the teacher. The school ranked second in the state, behind Gilmore College, for school suspensions given to students in 2010. The school made the front page of The West Australian in early 2013 when it was revealed students from the school had formed 'fight clubs' where they would gather to watch students brawl with one another. Fights were recorded on video and posted to Facebook, as were details of upcoming fights. The police became involved and were planning additional patrols in the area. The principal, Terry Martino, called on the community to take a shared responsibility for the children's behavior. In 2016 the school year commenced with 49 suspensions handed out to students in the first three weeks. In March of the same year a teacher was assaulted by a student, the teacher escaped serious injury and the student was suspended. Just a day after the opening of the new English, Maths and HASS buildings, they were vandalised, smashing windows and causing other significant damage to the buildings. This incident forced the school to be closed for a day for repairs so that it was safe for students and staff members to return.
