The School Library
The original School Library was upstairs in A Block. The Cockle Creek News of August 1970, a magazine produced and printed by the Sulphide Corporation, reported the following:
Over $2000 has been spent on providing the school with T.V. Equipment. The main units being: a Video tape recorder which is used to record T.V. programmes which are stored until required, two T.V. sets and T.V Camera fitted with a zoom lens.
... To date over $25000 has been spent on the library and it is estimated that $2000 - $3000 per annum is required to maintain the stock to an acceptable level.
A new School Library was built in 1984. Today the building is known as the Student Hub housing the Library, the Careers, IT and Wellbeing Offices, and the Student Services Office.

🔥 1994 - The Year of the Fire
In the early hours of Sunday, July 10th 1994, D Block was destroyed by fire. Our School Principal, Mr. Jim Barnes is quoted as saying, "Things like this tend to create a strong morale. There is a great school spirit here...and we will bounce back better than ever."
And that, we did.
