For many students, one of the most intriguing moments of the centenary celebrations has been the opening of the time capsule, which was buried in the school grounds as part of the 75th birthday celebrations in 1993.
Both Mr Peter Valder, former Head of Grimwade House and former teacher, Miss Bev Kerin, who both oversaw the collection of time capsule items in 1993, were on hand to witness the opening. “I had forgotten how large the capsule actually was,” said Miss Kerin. “It was a big project in the 75th year and it was always intended that the capsule be opened in the centenary year.”
The time capsule contained items from 1993, such as newspapers and compact discs, and students’ reflections about life and the issues that mattered to them. “Time capsules are incredibly interesting,” said Head of Grimwade House Royce Helm. “Our students will be developing content for a centenary time capsule later this year.”
