The precursor to the Old Girls’ Association is formed. The first St Mary’s school magazine is produced, which Miss Darke hopes will strengthen "the bond between past and present members of the school".

The Governing Body announces that the school is to move. Anglicans who live in the vicinity of Orange Grove and Highlands North support the school’s relocation to their area.
