HELEN GOULDING has sent us two lovely photographs from 1967 and 1968. Helen, who finished at St Patrick's in 1976, said that the children in these photographs were just six or seven years old.
This first photo is of Helen's Grade 1 Class, 1967. At one time, boys attended St Patrick's before moving on to Holy Cross. I am very pleased with this picture because it is the very first one that I have received which has boys on it. Can anyone give us a name or two? Also, who is the Sister? Love the modified habit! Believe it or not, some people thought it pretty daring. I suppose it was quite a big change from the previous one that covered everything but face and hands. Anyway, I love this picture and I really hope that some of you will be able to identify the Nun and the children.

Here we have another picture of the Rhythm Band at the 1968 Graduation. Aren't they just the cutest musicians you have ever seen? I am hoping for some names here too, please.

I am always very grateful to receive photographs and/or stories from St Patrick's pupils, girls or boys. I hope some boys will now be encouraged to allow us to have a peek at their old school pictures. We really would LOVE to hear from the men out there who are former St Patrick's pupils!
Helen, if you come across anything else you would like to share here, we would be delighted to post it. Thank you for sharing your beautiful pictures with us.
