    • The Sunken Garden is established on the site of what for almost a century was the Principal's residence. The bluestone walls are softened by silver and pink plantings and the gentle sounds of the water feature create a soothing ambience, especially in summer. To the side, the pergola leading to the herb garden displays exotic climbing plants. In spring, Lonicera hildebrandiana (Giant Honeysuckle) and Wisteria floribunda (Japanese Wisteria) bloom profusely there.
