The  School was very fortunate in the quality of its teaching staff and their loyalty to the School. Many served the School for twenty years and some even did thirty years or more. They were active as House Masters, and in the Societies and Clubs, the School Plays and the School Orchestra and with the various School teams and provided pupils with opportunities to travel at home and abroad on School trips, camps and holidays.
