The age of Chalkwell Hall Junior School has now surpassed 100 years. It is a structure that stands out in the neighbourhood with pride. We were overwhelmed by the number of former students who returned during our school's centennial year in 2008鈥�2009, ranging in age from 80 to those who had just departed. We want to make sure that our children appreciate the new technology and advancements being made in our constantly changing world while also preserving some of the tradition at our well-known school.
