In 1937 Greensteds had experienced one year of being a day school for local settler children, with a number of less than 20.
Through an email we received from James Anderson Nicholas Wallis who was a student here from (1942 to 1945) we learnt that in January 1942 Mrs Greensteds and Commander Greensteds (clipper captain) managed and taught in the school. In 1955 when Tony Ward taught here numbers had risen to 100.
Today Greensteds caters for students from the age of four to 19 years and welcomes children of all sorts of nationalities. This page is specifically to recognize the achievements of the students who have passed through this institution from 1937 and to help them to keep in touch with their old school and friends.
We want to know what you are doing and where you are. Meet some people who are keeping in touch and holding the old Greensteds flag high

Memories and Anecdotes
Annie Douglas’ most special memory is the tree outside the Science lab. Annie, it is still standing and still as splendid as ever.
Alick, do you remember the old swimming pool? Thank Heaven there was no spring board or some of those open age boys would have landed in the Hockey Field! It is now a rain water reservoir and very very useful.
This new pool was built through the efforts of a Parents fund raising and school contribution in 1998.
