At 2.30, immediately before the distribution of prizes, a special farewell service was held in Christ Church, " to mark the occasion of the departure from the old school buildings, and the severance of the tie- between the parish of Christ Church and the School." The order of service began with the hymn, " O God, our help in ages past." The lesson, Joshua i. 1-13, was read by Mr. Edward A. Austin.
