Incorporating such architectural gems as rooms 57, 58, 64, 65 and T1-6, temporary classrooms provide an "important contribution" to "teaching space" at BRGS. The label 'temporary' indicates a building with a potentially infinite shelf life that requires no maintenance during its lifespan - proven to be untrue as one Year 9 student (05/06; now in year 10) managed to place his foot into the wall of T3, indenting a perfectly flat plane - with no denting whatsoever - into the surface of the wall. Indeed, the history department has actively encouraged the installation of as many temporary classrooms as possible, since in the future they will represent almost completely intact time capsules for use in the study of the past.
The Great History Department Uprising of 1987
Caused by the removal (and disposal) of an original shag pile carpet from room 58 by the caretakers, without allowing the various artefacts stuck to it to be fully catalogued.
Flat roofs
Temporary classrooms most often have a cunning 'flat' roof design, possibly so any footballs are forever lost if accidentally kicked there. This is yet another reason why the history department place such emphasis on the installation of temporary classrooms. An original Roman trigon ball was found on Room 57's roof in 1998, although it was later claimed by the P.E. department as school property.
An alternate explanation for the flat roof design is so that students climbing on top of them to retrieve footballs are less likely to fall off. There was one notable observation made in 2000 of a year 9/10 (now known to be one Dayne 'Anal Pain' Powell) getting up onto the roof of Rooms 57 & 58 (observed from the Canteen snack bar queue), then getting back off again. It's quite easily accessible using the fire escape and rail on the Art Block side as a step, but be careful of the big (spiky) iron fence just two metres further away!
- 9S' form room is T5 and many unexplained and creepy noises have been known to be heard from T6. This is also known as the rubbish music that certain people in 9S play, or if you wish gay disco.
- 10S' from room is T4, and since they have been there, they have managed to break the computer, the door, get everyone else up in the T rooms, (8B and 9S) kicked out and got accused of being on the roof, which was not true.
- The room has a tendency to leak, indeed it is basically falling to pieces. Though those rooms are useful, they are either freezing cold or smoking hot, and the windows do NOT open, (courtesy of 10S as well). They are also at the top of the hill, which is annoying and tiring to get to.
