Major Hill chose the colours of his old army unit, blue and brown, as the school's official colours, as well as the school motto, Aere Perennius, meaning "More lasting than bronze".
The high school conducted its classes in buildings in Bolsover Street and Alma Street until 1962, when the school separated from the Technical College and relocated to its present site in Wandal.
