history

On June 6, 1971, the sovereign of the canton of Zurich approved the loan applications for the canton schools in Oerlikon and Bülach by referendum. On October 14, 1971, the government council decided under the designation "Provisional Canton School Department Bülach" that the department Bülach should become a new and independent canton school. The Oerlikon canton school department took over most of the necessary preparatory work until a rector was elected.
