TWENTY FIVE YEARS AGO 6, MUSIC, SONG AND DANCE

Did you know that the Presentation Sisters were the first teachers in Newfoundland to introduce music into schools on a daily basis? Well they were and that musical tradition was carried on down through all the years and in all their schools, Province wide.  This post shows St Patrick's Pupils enjoying the music, song and dance opportunities on offer. I am grateful to all the people who have contributed these wonderful photos. Thank you so much for your help.

REPORT CARD TIME!

I am very pleased that once again I am able to post pictures on the blog.  I don't know what the problem was but, thankfully, it seems to have been sorted out at last.  So here we are with some old report cards.   I hope you enjoy this post. 

 

 

Thanks to Betty Simms for the first three Report Cards.  They are a record of Betty's work in Kindergarten.  The school year was 1951-52 and the teacher was the wonderful Miss Margaret Murphy.

Good Bye Kindergarten!

For the next report card and certificate of promotion, I am indebted to Linda O'Brien Clarke.  I think these are lovely keepsakes to have, Linda, and I am very grateful to you for sharing them with us.

Congratulations, Linda


Thank you very much Betty and Linda.  These are priceless reminders of happy days at St Patrick's.  (Well, happy once the exams were over!)  If anyone else has any reports or certificates, please send them to us at mcallistersmith@gmail.com and share the memories.
