1953 - The founding Head's retirement

The decision to move the school to the Lamorbey site was deeply opposed by Headmaster, Dr McGregor Williams, who wanted his school to remain within the Crittall's Corner building, of which he was particularly fond.

He decided to retire prior to the move to the new site, stepping down in July 1953 and dying five months later.

His parting words of advice were reported in a local newspaper.
