Hello, my name is soheila. I used to go to a boarding school in St. Leonards on sea during the years 1975 to 1978, the name of my boarding school was CONVENT OF OUR LADY. I want to know if it is still there and if yes, I need to know the web address and information about it. Please let me know in details.

Thanks
Soheila.

Sorry, I know this messge is being posted a long time after your origional one, but in case you are still searching I'm afraid the school is not still there but the building is. I can't remember what it is now butit might be something like an old people's home.

Hi went there during that time_ _ _.I know that it was late eighties, so I may be off, and you may have graduated before me. I graduated 88-89. I was a boarder.
Hopefully you check this forum.

Hello Soheila- I was there in 1978 - I think I remember your name - and am trying to remebmber your face - I think you were in the upperschool - I think I sat at the dining hall at your table - were you the head of the table? - I was a curly haired girl from Canada - my sister was also there - i joined the facebook group for the Convent of Our Lady. I have many fond memories of the Convent. I remeber lots of people including Sr. Francois, Sr. Lucy, Sr. Sabastian and Matie Sr Stephanie and her greyhound dog she used to wear under her sweater! I lived at St. Dominiques.
Hope to hear from you.
Renee
