The school hosted a series of events in commemoration of its 130th anniversary, including the water sports meet, academic conferences, the poster exhibition, class observations, thanksgiving worship, game booths, the issuance of anniversary publications and remembrance envelopes, and the celebration dinner.  The events would not have been possible without the hard work of every member of the school.  Many thanks to everyone who helped make the anniversary a success!
