90th Anniversary of Memorial Chapel Evensong Celebration
 In conjunction with Ridley’s 125th Anniversary this year, 2013 marks the 90th Anniversary of the opening of the Memorial Chapel built in memory of the 61 Old Ridleians who gave their lives in World War I.
The cornerstone was laid on June 4, 1921 and the Chapel was dedicated on June 17, 1923. It stands today as a majestic monument in stone and a revered symbol of spiritual Ridley.

What's Happening on Campus?
Saturday, October 25-26th & November 1st - Ridley Drama Presents: 'A Pair of Snappy Shorts'
This year's fall theatre production in the senior school takes a new approach presenting two one act plays.
The first play, "The Audition", by Don Zolidis is the story of a group of high school students auditioning for their school production of "A Chorus Line". It is both comic and dramatic, as it tackles the hopes and dreams of students, teachers and parents as they present their auditions with all the emotion and expectation that those entail.
The second play is "The Real Inspector Hound" by Tom Stoppard, an absurd comedy that pokes fun at the Sherlock Holmes style murder mystery and somehow involves two critics that come to the play as suspects in the crime. Please click here to purchase tickets.
