History
The school first opened in 1967. Its catchment area grew to include Winterfold Primary School in 1972, and has remained basically unchanged in the time since. In 2012, the school became the first officially accredited carbon neutral school in Australia, and in June that year won a World Environment Day Sustainability Leadership Award.
Enrolments at the school have fluctuated over the past few years from 443 in 2009, to 363 in 2010, 291 in 2011, 304 in 2012 and 324 in 2013.
Trevor Hunter was the principal in 2011 and was replaced in 2012 by Geraldine Hardy.
Special programs
The school offers specialist programs in baseball, marine studies and music studies. Entry to these programs is competitive and is open to students beyond the catchment area. Students can be in all or none of these programs when attending SFSHS.
