The establishment of the Inaburra School can be credited to the Menai Baptist Church who originally wished to establish a Christian school in Menai. The church identified a need for a Christian school in the area due to its rapidly growing population and the lack of a government high school.

A portable building was erected close to the Billa Road site for the use of the preschool and church in 1980, and in 1982 Inaburra officially commenced as a secondary school in temporary accommodation at the Christian Education Center at Gymea Baptist Church.

The name 'Inaburra' was chosen as it Wiradjuri word meaning 'dream'.^[2] It also uses Aboriginal names for the clubs and sports colours.

Inaburra School is a registered and accredited school, teaching the NSW Board of Studies Curriculum from Kindergarten to Year 12. Students undertake all NAPLAN tests and the Higher School Certificate in Year 12.
