By 1963, 900 students were enrolled and there was a critical shortage of accommodation. Some highly qualified members of the Parents’ Association were unhappy about the accommodation problems and the lack of a strong educational focus. They formed a parents’ lobby group and set up regular parent/teacher nights. Unfortunately, there was a gradual erosion of traditional values. Respect for authority, cheerful and willing obedience, courtesy and formality, and loyalty toward the school were not evident.
