Tour - School Hall
The “Edgar Dill Hall” was built in 1968. It was named after the headmaster who oversaw the building of stages 1 - 4 at the school during the 1960s. Funds for the hall were raised over five years, mostly through parental subscription, and were supplemented by fundraising fetes, barbecue days and fashion parades. The original £4000 needed was converted to $8000 after decimal currency was introduced in 1966. This was matched dollar for dollar by the State Government which was the procedure for building assembly halls at that time. Beecroft's hall was allegedly the last hall built in N.S.W. under this subsidy scheme and the total of $8000 only just made the deadline. Inside the hall is the Bicentennial Tapestry completed by students as a gift to the school to celebrate the 1988 bicentenary of The First Fleet.
