MARKER 3

This quadrangle is reserved for the most special exchanges between the Toorak College community. Rules for generations of students were strictly: no running, no talking, and no walking on the grass! For decades, boarders assembled here to recite ‘taps’ at sunset.

Day is done, gone the sun
From the lake, from the hills, from the sky
All is well, safely rest, God is nigh
