“Above the City is a highly enjoyable and illuminating account of how the school grew from modest and hesitant beginnings in a raw colonial world to a 21st-century institution confident of its identity. Written with insight and humour, this is local history with attitude. The well-chosen illustrations enhance Sweetman’s deft tale of a school and a city.”
