Objects of Substance- Wilkinson Banner

1965 Wilkinson Captain, Margaret Schneider and Vice-captain, Jeanne Nash.

In 1966, the number of Houses was reduced to five: Gibson, Griffith, Lilley, Woolcock, and England. Wilkinson House was merged with Gibson, the “purple” House. With approximately 143 students in each House, sporting and cultural activities flourished by the bottle green socks disappeared. The history of Houses has been a chequered one. After reducing the total number of houses to five, the 1970s saw a Boarders House emerge in 1971, and then the return to interform competition in 1974 until 1979. The pastoral value afforded by the House system was once again acknowledged by the Principal, Judith Hancock, and subsequently the system returned in 1980 with a new House, Hirschfeld, established.
