DMGS Alumni Association Projects
EXECUTED FOR COMMISSIONING DURING 70TH ANNIVERSARY
List of Projects Executed
1. Renovation of the Principal’s House - The Principal’s House underwent a comprehensive renovation aimed at improving its structural integrity, functionality, and overall living conditions. Key renovation works included repairs to walls and roofing, refurbishment of internal spaces, and general upgrades to ensure the house is safe, habitable, and suitable for occupancy. In addition, a reliable water reticulation system was installed and connected to the house, providing consistent access to clean water. This improvement has significantly enhanced sanitation, convenience, and the overall quality of life for the Principal, supporting effective school administration and on-site supervision.
2. Demolition of the Old Mr. Alo’s House and Construction of a New Three-Bedroom Building with Boys’ Quarters (BQ) - The dilapidated structure formerly known as Mr. Alo’s house was carefully demolished due to its poor structural condition and unsuitability for continued use. Following the demolition, a modern three-bedroom residential building was constructed on the site to meet current standards of safety, comfort, and functionality. The new building features well-designed bedrooms, a living area, kitchen, bathrooms, and essential utilities. In addition, a self-contained Boys’ Quarters (BQ) was constructed to provide supplementary accommodation for staff or support personnel. This development has significantly improved staff housing within the school, enhanced security and supervision on campus, and represents a lasting contribution by the Alumni Association to the school’s infrastructure and welfare.
3. Demolition of the Old Mr. Omotoso’s House and Construction of a New Three-Bedroom Building with Boys’ Quarters (BQ) - The old structure previously occupied by Mr. Omotoso was demolished after a thorough assessment revealed significant structural deterioration and obsolescence. The demolition was carried out in a safe and controlled manner to prepare the site for new development. Subsequently, a modern three-bedroom residential building was constructed, designed to provide comfortable, functional, and secure accommodation for school staff. The new building comprises spacious bedrooms, a living and dining area, kitchen, bathrooms, and modern utility installations. In addition, a self-contained Boys’ Quarters (BQ) was included to provide additional accommodation for auxiliary staff or guests. This project has enhanced the quality of staff housing on campus, improved overall school infrastructure, and reflects the Alumni Association’s continued commitment to the development and welfare of Doherty Grammar School
4. Reconstruction of the SUBEB Classroom Block and Water Reticulation with Mounting of Water Tank Stanchion - The SUBEB classroom block was completely reconstructed to replace the old and deteriorated structure, ensuring a safe, modern, and conducive learning environment for students. The reconstruction included structural reinforcement, new roofing, improved flooring, and the refurbishment of walls, doors, and windows to meet current educational facility standards. The upgraded classrooms now provide better ventilation, lighting, and overall comfort, thereby enhancing teaching and learning outcomes. In addition, a comprehensive water reticulation system was installed across the classroom block, ensuring a steady and reliable supply of water for daily school activities. A durable water tank stanchion was also mounted to support elevated water storage, enabling efficient water distribution and improved water pressure throughout the facility. These improvements have greatly enhanced hygiene, sanitation, and convenience within the school environment and underscore the Alumni Association’s commitment to sustainable infrastructure development at Doherty Grammar School.
5. Drilling of Borehole - A borehole was drilled within the school premises to provide a sustainable and reliable source of potable water for the school community. The project involved hydrogeological assessment, drilling to an appropriate depth, installation of casing and pumping systems, and water quality testing to ensure safety for domestic use. The borehole now supplies clean water to key facilities across the campus, reducing dependence on external water sources and mitigating challenges associated with water scarcity. This intervention has significantly improved sanitation, hygiene, and overall operational efficiency within the school, while serving as a long-term investment in the health and welfare of students, staff, and residents on campus.
