HERITAGE PROJECTS COMPLETED IN 2011 The Archives moved a level into more spacious offices and the museum received a much needed make-over. Many old photographs were reframed courtesy of Giselle MacLean and attractively hung with the help of Brenda Marshall and Tina Whitelaw. New displays consisting of both visual and other primary sources were constructed. A DVD was completed celebrating the 90th Anniversary and was shown to the entire school on the official founders day: 4 August. Recognising the headmastership of Colin Silcock’s Headmastership was achieved through renaming the recently completed Silcock field.
