In 2002 the School, in conjunction with the OIGA, created the Gallery of Achievement to honour those past students who have achieved outstanding success in their chosen field of endeavour.
Digital displays at both campuses acknowledge each member of the Gallery with a photo and brief CV of their achievements. There is a strict set of criteria that must be met before anyone is asked to join the Gallery. Inclusion into the Gallery is by invitation from the Principal.
