Named in honour of Elizabeth Macarthur, wife of John Macarthur, both Australian agricultural pioneers, the school was established in 1988 and caters for approximately 1,200 students from Year 7 to Year 12, including approximately sixty indigenous students.[1][2]

The school provides agriculture as a school subject.[3] The school has an established performance in livestock shows, such as the Camden Show and the Royal Easter Show.[4]

On 21 June 2019, the school was evacuated due to an unspecified police operation.[5] It was discovered that the reason for the evacuation was a bomb threat.
