Originally was Bowden Brompton Community Workshop School, now Bowden Brompton Community School, commenced in 1977 on the site of the old Brompton Primary School, after approaches were made through submissions, lobbying and presentations to the Education Department by local parents. Their aim was to form a school for students who were dropping out of school or not successful in the mainstream schools.

An establishment grant was provided, a major proportion of which was allocated to the Primary School to purchase portable buildings to be located on their own site across the road. This was to be used to house the Junior Primary students who were currently using the original site on the corner of West Street and Torrens Road.

Thus the school commenced on a limited budget and resources, much of which came from several schools who were closing, for an enrolment of 50 students (now 75).

Over the years a philosophy has grown and still remains today.

• Students should be treated as important individuals, whose social, emotional, physical, intellectual and spiritual growth are all valued
• To provide a safe learning environment and to encourage students to once again value themselves as individuals and their achievements
