Among the wide variety of tropical trees and shrubs is a third generation breadfruit tree, a sucker from the original plant brought by Captain William Bligh (of Bounty fame) in 1793.
The school is named after Muhammed Ghiya'as ud-din who became Sultan in 1766 and is known for introducing breadfruit to the country.
