Boarding numbers on the rise
The popularity of boarding sees the consistent expansion of boarding facilities. In 2011, the original staff residence is upgraded and renamed Diemont House. Finally, the school purchases a beautiful and spacious home that borders the school, with a swimming pool and tennis court, from Mr and Mrs Roy Wiggill, whose daughters are Old Girls. Woodwinds, as it is called, opens in 2016 to 12 boarders.
On the main campus, major renovations are undertaken on the dining room and kitchen, which the boarders use.
