Claim record · CP3-SCHOOL-DATE

Founding date of the schools (c.1917)

C Attributed / requires confirmation Life contested depends on the 2026 biography

One centenary account dates both school foundings to 1917. This date is not corroborated in the reference works and is given here only as an attributed approximation.

This is the exact wording approved for public display. It is never strengthened beyond what the tier — Partially supported — published only with attribution — permits.
