This was the main meeting room for the whole School over many years and also used as a classroom, where several different classes would be taught at the same time. The

Christmas Plays and concerts were also held on this stage (alternating with the Dining Hall) and during the nationwide Spanish Influenza epidemic of 1918 it was put to use

as an emergency sick ward! Note the Honours Boards on the eastern wall which remained in place until the 1970s and today reside in the archives.
