I was there mid 60s left about 64, the arty art teacher was ... well i wont use bad language. Mrs Griffin, anyone remember her? She was the deputy head mistress, the most sadistic woman i ever met. Mr Mayer the headmaster at the time tried his best, told me to reach for the stars etc... Miss Boyle the gym teacher used to scream "you bold creature", if we stepped out of line.Hated the school and most teachers ,but had some good times too. Remember the christmas parties with the teachers watching from the stage?

I went to Sacred Heart then Notre Dame for a couple of years then to Holy Family. I would have been there from about 70-73 or thereabouts.

Lots of good memories! I was there from 76-81 in Arrowsmith, madame Metcalf was my form teacher. I can't remember all the houses I remember Rigby and Clitheroe but what were the others? I had Mr Mulligan for english the first two years I was there. I had Mr sanderson for math- he was always telling us jokes very little math was taught. I was thrown out of mr Parfitts french class and told to go do art with Miss/Mrs Snape-she was a great Art teacher. Who was the other art teacher who was really serious about Art and would grade you really severly- I don't think Piccaso would get a grade higher than a D. Do any of you remember Mr obrien or obby general science teacher? And Mr Mc Keown was the biology teacher. I cant remember what the woodwork teacher was called or the physics teacher.
