125th Founders' Day
Venue           : Sir Kirby Laing Auditorium
Guest of Honour : Mr Lionel Connor (an alumnus of the school)

Founders’ Day is a very important day in the school calendar. We gather to focus on and celebrate the vision of great men and women that materialized in 1888 and continues to be nurtured and strengthened by the tireless efforts of those who took on the mantle from them. The Guests of honour for this occasion was Mr Lionel Connor, an alumnus of the school. After the opening prayer by Rev. Eric Templeton the congregation sang the hymn "Standing on the Promises of Christ My King.....", the Junior School Choir sang their anthem "He Walks Beside Me...." followed by a Bible reading by the Girls' Captain. The senior School Choir sang "God will make a way". The 125th founders' day cake was cut by Mr Phillip Root in place of Mr Lionel Connor who unfortunately fell ill that day and could not attend the ceremony.

After the Founders' Day service a small yet important ceremony was held outside the staff room area to dedicate the academic block in memory of Mr Phillips, former Principal and Chairman of the Board of Management. The plaque was unveiled by Mrs A. Phillips.
