BHS School Gymnasium (Hall)
1935Photograph of students and teachers in the gymnasium (hall ) during an assembly.
The original gymnasium (aka school hall) was built in 1922 behind the main building. The building was 74 feet by 34 feet, built of timber, with a ceiling that was half cylindrical.
It was fitted with six shower baths and other conveniences.
Two shelter sheds 32 feet by 16 feet were constructed at a later date, along with a stage at the south eastern end.
In 1984 work began on a new Gymnasium, Industrial Arts Centre and paved sporting facilities. The Gymnasium opened in 1985.
The original gymnasium building was condemned in 1990 as unsafe due to a large white ant infestation and was subsequently demolished in 1993.
