JUBILEE INFORMATION:
On Friday 3rd August the Memorial Arch (designed by the Art Master, Mr. L.D. Coombs with the untiring work of Mr. ‘Teddy’ Webster) & 20 roll of honour brass tablets (containing the names of 1,200 old boys who served in the First World War) were received on behalf of the school by Mr Campbell (The rector, W.J. Morrell (MA. Oxon) was unable to be there due to influenza). The brass plates (5 on each side of two doorways, containing nearly 11,000 letters and probably the largest piece of brass work produced in the Dominion at the time) was unveiled by the first boy to be enrolled in 1863 (Mr. Colin MacAndrew) & the most recently enrolled boy in 1923 (Cdt. B.F. Duff).
