At that time, it was known as Auburn Seventhday Adventist Primary School. In 1919, the first school building was erected at the cost of 450 pounds. It was made of red brick and consisted of two rooms. In 1920, a second teacher was added to the staff at Auburn. Following the closure of the Concord tall school at the last of 1921 due to insufficient resources, Auburn expanded its curriculum to include secondary grades to the Intermediate Certificate until a fresh lofty school was opened in Burwood in 1937. In 1973 and then again in 1990, surplus land in Macquarie Road was purchased to expand the school. Over the after ten years, the school continued to grow, adding another teacher and reaching more than 100 students.
