No further building programs were undertaken until 1955 when the second period of expansion began with the opening of the Preparatory School in 1955 followed by the Sports Ground in 1958. Building on the Commercial Road site began in 1962 with the opening of the Unwin Memorial Science and Art block, continued in the 70s with the Library, the Asten Theatre, additional science facilities and in the 80s with the W.N. Oats Sports Centre. The Clemes Memorial Library in the Junior School was erected from the old Clemes Assembly Hall in 1986. In the 1990s, The Friends for the Future fund-raising campaign has enabled the construction of new classrooms in the Junior School and the complete refurbishing of a number of older facilities in the High School and Clemes. But it would give a false impression if the history of a School was to be thought of only in terms of buildings.
History is made by people.
History is a record of their ideas and their character in action. The School has been blessed with an outstanding succession of teachers whose continuity of service is indicated by the names on an honour board of those with at least fifteen years to their credit. Two of its headmasters together span more than half of the School's centenary life. All of these have interpreted in action the School's basic belief that each child has 'something of God' within and that this is the source of potential and growth. The phrase, 'a cooperative school community' is the one often used to express the community ethos of the School.
