Our school was born on 24 January 1955 in pre-fabricated buildings on the grounds of Andrew Rabie High School. There were 155 pupils, the principal Mr Winston Cordingley, and 5 teachers. Three additional classrooms for 'standard sixes' were later opened on Seventh Avenue, Newton Park. In 1956 we moved to our present home. Over the years, additions and alterations have been carried out to cater for the ever-increasing drive to provide quality education at Alex. These additions include: our restaurant complex, solar heated swimming and waterpolo pool, the music block, auditorium, arts centre, drama centre and state of the art computer laboratories.
