Incidents

On January 3, 2012, during the 2011/2012 Winter Holidays, the school had a fire inside the gymnasium. The damage was 'just over $1 million'. This caused the school's original plans to have the 50th anniversary in May, to be pushed back several months, but classes still resumed on January 9. On February 23, 2012, the school had another fire in one of the boys' washrooms.
