It's been another busy start to the new school year. This year, the school celebrates 50 years since our doors opened in September 1961.
We have held our first major event of the year, the Upper School Awards Evening, on Wednesday, September 14.
The following evening, the school orchestra performed their first concert of the year, the school's 50th anniversary concert.
This was well attended by several ex-staff and pupils who were all pleasantly reminded of their time at Greenhill over the past five decades by an excellent display of photos and memorabilia (put together by some willing sixth formers).
Also a huge thank you goes to our compere Mr. Newman Vincent who entertained us with many stories and anecdotes. It was an enjoyable evening of good music in the company of many friends.
More events are planned for this our anniversary year, watch out for the announcements and anyone with fond memories of Greenhill who has photos etc that could be included in our displays please contact the school reception.
