History
Throughout the late 1950s the school continued to expand to successively accommodate all four high school years. A new two storey block which incorporated the latest structural system of steel open-web joists (known as Block D in 2016) was built north of Block B, in two stages, during 1957-58.
A second, larger courtyard area was created north of Block C by the addition of two more blocks in 1958-59 – a Domestic Science block (known as Block G in 2016) and a classroom block (known as Block E in 2016).[53] In order to construct them, however, the area had to be lowered and flattened, with excavation works taking place during 1958. Some of the fill was deposited in the western school grounds, where tennis and basketball courts were later formed.
