I was a pupil at St James Boys School from its inaugural day in 1975 until 1986. I remember my first day at the school; it was cold, intimidating and unwelcoming. We spent much of our first week learning how to raise and lower our calligraphy boards silently. I was 5 ? years old. The hypocrisy of ma...

Reply to Wilfred and 'Parent'

Dear Wilfred and other parent, Thank you for your postings and the questions that you raise. Reading all the correspondence here and sites relating to the SES leaves me with many questions.

Dear Mike, thanks for acting. Its a pity that one individual has chosen to disrupt what was a well functioning and highly useful forum. Could you combine all Sandra's / Sandy's / Matt Stollar's recent threads into one or just delete them if that's easier!!! I assume that under the new system it will...
