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'.[2] 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.[3] On February 23, 2012, the school had another fire in one of the boys' washrooms.[4]
