Fire

On 5 April 2005, a large fire occurred at the school's central building. Many of its facilities, including the main hall, the library and 40 classrooms, were severely damaged. [1] [2] A 15-year-old boy was charged with arson and burglary over the incident, but was later cleared of these charges. [3]

The school site was redeveloped into a single complex following the fire. [4] A time capsule was buried at the school in 2008 to commemorate its restoration. [5]
