The diagrams illustrate the structural transformations that occurred at West Park Secondary School over a 60-year period from 1950 to 2010.
Overall, the school underwent significant expansion throughout the timeline. The most notable changes were the complete removal of nearby residential housing to make room for new facilities and the subsequent expansion of the car park.
In 1950, the school grounds occupied a relatively small footprint consisting of the main school building, a playground to the south, and a surrounding area of farmland to the west. Adjacent to the school, across from the main road, stood a row of residential houses.
By 1980, the houses had been demolished to expand the school’s territory, providing space for a new car park, a science block attached to the main building, and a sports field carved out of the former farmland.
By 2010, the school grounds were reconfigured once more. The car park was significantly extended to cover the entire western section of the site. To accommodate this enlarge parking area, the sports field was reduced in size, while the playground, main building, and science block remained unchanged.
