The school was founded in 1910 as "Bowview School" which was originally a boarding school. Evidence for this can be found above the SW entrance by the cafeteria. It was renamed in 1953 to mark the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II. The original three-storey building (which includes the Drama room that was the original Auditorium and Cafeteria) opened in 1930. A large addition (including the Band, Wood shop, north Gym, current offices, classrooms) was opened in 1953. The third addition was completed in 1967 and includes the Library and Science labs.
