School culture

In 2011, a student-created film titled "Beware of Peter Goodman" emerged as a cultural touchstone within the Anglican school, lampooning senior secondary teachers and their unique enforcement of the school uniform policy. This satirical portrayal quickly became a recurring tradition among graduating classes, with each subsequent year producing their own adaptations and interpretations of the original theme. Despite occasional controversy, the film's enduring popularity has contributed to ongoing conversations about school culture and the evolving dynamics between students and faculty over the years.
