Was that the name of the original Bagshaw when it was a secondary school?
I was only there for gr. 7 & 8 but because it had been a high school we had all kinds of amenities other elementary schools did not -- double gymnasium with large change rooms (there may have been a smaller gym too, my memories are a bit fuzzy), theatre with individual cloth seats and a full stage/lighting setup, wood shops, dedicated art classrooms, larger science classrooms, etc. Plus the attached rec centre had the pool.
There were more than 1,500 kids going to that school back then, in the early 1980s. Lots of young families in the area.
