Tree removal on the GHP site has also commenced this week. The College is cultivating native seeds and propagating cuttings to ensure that every tree removed will be replaced with two trees. This will ensure our beautiful tree canopy will continue to provide shade for our girls for years to come.
HOARDING TO BE INSTALLED OUTSIDE LOWER COLONNADE Hoarding will be installed outside the lower Colonnade from Tuesday 12 March to allow for the start of the construction of the new Upper School hub. This will occur outside school hours to minimise disruption during the school day.
