This is now Westways, seen at its position at the corner of Western Road and Mona Avenue. The school was built as three separate buildings for seniors, juniors and infants. The senior school is further separated from the others by a high retaining wall, behind which the land was built up from the land below to lessen the slope of the two playgrounds.
