1957

On August 21st 1957, Mr Wortham purchased the school becoming both the owner and Headmaster. The school was rewired and redecorated to make bigger form rooms and dorms. The boating pool was re-designed; the oval and 1st XI pitch was levelled by a bulldozer. The building of Mera Ghar (now Collingwood) began in November. Pioneering replaced scouting. Boys were allowed to wear “Muck-abouts” at the weekends. Oscar O
