Our greatest successes and fondest memories are not of the buildings but of the students who have passed through the gates since 1980. Collectively, they have accounted for outstanding successes on the sporting field, in professional and trade careers, in musical and dramatic performances and in citizenship. Individually, many have come to the public’s attention for outstanding performance in their chosen field. Here are just a few of them. More success stories to come.
