History

The School of Today opened in 1996. Some time prior to 2007, it was renamed Glenlee Christian College. The school was established by parents whose children who suffered from sensitivities to chemicals or who had learning difficulties linked to environmental factors. Therefore the school was established in a rural area away from the pollution of traffic and urban activities. As of 2007, the school had nine students and one teacher. It was located at 46 Dawson Road () just to the east of the North Coast railway line. The school subsequently closed. In January 2016, Carinity Education Rockhampton established a school on the site of the Glenlee Christian College.
