Teachers

Notable teachers at the school include John Howard Amundsen who taught the subjects of manual arts, media and business.[4][5] Amundsen gained notoriety in May 2006, after a stockpile of explosives and detonators were found in his home which caused the school to be evacuated and searched.[4][5][6][7][8] On 10 May 2006, the school was closed for most of the morning as police with sniffer dogs checked classrooms, before they declared it safe for students and staff to resume lessons.[5] In a Brisbane court on 11 May 2006, he was charged with fraudulently obtaining 53 kg of the explosive substance Powergel.[8] He was charged with preparing a terrorist act, as well as two counts of making a threat and making a hoax threat.[8] In February 2007, the charges of terrorism and making a hoax threat were dropped but replaced with new charges of possessing incendiary devices and having dangerous goods in a vehicle.[9][10]
