Friday 8 March 2019 was a time for celebrating as we officially opened the new $1.8 million Peter Lewis Wing accommodation block at Thomas House boarding Hostel.
Peter Lewis was a prominent Old Boy, philanthropist of our school and contributor to the project, who was represented by his wife Jean officially cutting the ribbon and declaring the building open. We are appreciative of Jean’s ongoing commitment to Timaru Boys’ and were also pleased to welcome extended family members of the Lewis family.
Sincere thanks must also go to members of the Redevelopment Committee who committed much time and energy in bringing to life this vision for an improved hostel. Thank you to Colin and Kate Murdoch, Virginia Callaghan, Karla Yeatman, Sue McNulty, Peter Stayt, Susan Coker and Hamish Sheed.
This much needed and anticipated 600m new build, houses 36 beds, a common room/kitchenette, bathrooms, sick bay and Housemaster accommodation.
