New Swimming Pool and Multi-Purpose Hall Opens
​
​
The official opening of the new facilities at CCHSG has had to be postponed, but students have already been making good use of the three teaching rooms, huge multi-purpose hall and swimming pool contained in the new teaching block. The hall provides a much needed expansion of the indoor sport facilities. It will also be used as an additional space for assemblies and an exam hall. After some delay caused by archaeological investigations, the work on our new library and arts block is now also progressing quickly. Due to open in September, the building will contain a fabulous new library and resource centre and two new art studios.
