Connecting up with Boarders from St. Stanislaus

Hello all,

I went into the boarding school at the age of 6 – (1965-1974 ) Fr. Casale was the school principal atthe time and Fr. Kenneth was the boarding school prefect, supervisor, carer, surrogate parent etc. My elder brother Pierre for whom school was an adventure was a reassuring presence. I for one was not too happy. But…

Now, with a few years under the belt, having travelled many a road, I am putting together on my FaceBook account, a Page of the boarders including the prefects at the time.I would be much obliged if any boarders receiving this would like to connect up. It does not matter when you were a boarder, if you want to connect up on FaceBook send me an Email or a friends request on FaceBook – Anthony A Mendonca, and also let me know the year you were a boarder, not that it has any bearing on the subject other than to place you in my own memory of those days.

If any other Stanislite has any contacts of any boarders or of the prefects/supervisors please do get in touch with me/send me the details. I would really appreciate that.

Thanks again and Keep well.

Tony M
