Under the five year leadership of Principal Joan Essex, a number of much needed changes were implemented. New subjects, electives and extra-curricula activities enhanced the learning opportunities during and after school. Unfortunately, there was a rise in anti-social behaviour, and little commitment to the House system, competitive sport or team activities. The Monday morning Patriotic Ceremony was disbanded.
