The maps illustrate how West Park Secondary School has transformed over time, 1950, 1980, and 2010.
Overall, it can be seen that the school had undergone some significant changes over this period with the expansion of the school building, as well as the addition of sports field and car park.
From the diagrams, the first time different modifications were made to the school ground was in 1980, when a new car park and science block were constructed where a group of residential houses used to be. The nearby farmland was also converted into a sports field.
According to the school’s layout diagram of the year 2010, there has been an increase in the size of the car park that occupied almost half of the total area of the school. When deciding to increase the school car park area, certain school facilities had to be sacrificed, for instance, the sports field. The playground was also downsized from the original size in 1950 and 1980, which then to make room for a new sports field.
To summarise, over the years West Park Secondary School has built and expanded some new facilities, such as the car park and science block, but at the same time, its playground and sports field have been reduced in size.
