Today is also World Heritage Day and in our schools near 400 year history there has been plenty of change; especially to our campus. The school has been located at a number of locations in the city before moving to its current site in 1880.
Why not take a look at our recent Founders' Day celebrations below, where the whole school community came together to honour the history of the school since it was founded in 1633.

"I hope Easter is a wonderful, happy and joyful time for you but for those who are in the midst of pain and grief, struggle or challenge I say this; hold on, even in the darkest times there is hope. On Good Friday, it is hard to see the light of Easter Sunday, but it is coming. As a young man in my 20s and early 30s, I used to speak those same words without a true understanding of what I was saying and it was not until I had experienced significant loss and grief personally that I was able to understand what those words really mean. Now I know that they are not easy, but I believe them to be true. Hold on, and if you feel like your grip might not be strong enough today, then reach out, sometimes we need someone to hold on to us.
One last thought, in the end, if nothing else, Easter is a great time to eat as much chocolate as you like and not feel guilty.
Easter blessings to you and those you love."
Rev. Close
