1960 – 1969
In 1961 the Chapter and Standing Committee of St Andrew's Cathedral decided to commence the staged development of the entire city block on which the Cathedral stood, including the Kent Street buildings acquired from the 1935 agreement with the City Council. Stage 1 of the St Andrew's site development involved constructing a two-storey building for the School on the corner of Bathurst and Kent Streets with frontage to St Andrew's Place, adjacent to the Worker Building.
These 'New School' premises were opened in March 1965 by the Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr Michael Ramsay. Following a subsequent government grant in 1967, two science laboratories were opened in June 1968 above the classrooms of the building. For the first time in its history the School occupied purpose-built educational premises for student learning and teaching.
