History
The various land parcels needed to form the high school reserve were acquired by the Department of Public Instruction by early 1951. The northern part of the school site – part of Portion 38, consisting of 4.8ha – located south of McCaul Street and between Turner and Magor Streets, was resumed for school purposes by a proclamation dated 22 February 1951.
The southern part of the school site, located north of Lambert Road and between Carnarvon Road and Magor Street, absorbed Turner Street (unformed) to the south of Ward Street, plus four land parcels. The largest of these, 3.5ha of land which included parts of portions 38 and 39, was resumed for the school by the February 1951 proclamation. Another 1.6ha was also added to the southeast corner of the school grounds.
In addition, a small parcel of 0.03ha near Lambert Road was resumed for the school by the February 1951 proclamation. The site of the western half of the later school oval, 1.7ha of land that was formerly resubdivisions 487-527 of Portions 38, 39 and 42A (a road reserve), was purchased by the Secretary of Public Instruction in January 1951.
