I was a student at Loreto Convent between 1978 and 1981. Wonderful years…Some of my friends and classmates were…Patricia Maingi, Jennifer Mwaura, Doris Odongo, Nicole Bresson, Elizabeth Muchai, Lillian Patel, Audrey Gontier, Loretta D’Souza, Rosemary Mosha..where are you all? How are you all? I also remember Mr. Naik (Physics), Mrs Kithinji (Cookery), Macbeth and Julius Caesar….Piano lessons and tennis…lots of tennis….and ping-pong in the hallway upstairs…

Those infamous stairs…Behind which the dreaded labs lay…manned by Mr. Naik and Mrs. Carneiro. I remember so clearly my first day January 1975 – Standard 1. I lost my way and found myself in the form two class in the midst of giants….and that began my 11 wonderful years in that school. We were the first to go into the new lower primary classes and the swimming pool was opened then. I remember Mrs Saunders in Std two who made us repeat words over and over until we got our pronunciations right…no r, l’s for her. Does anyone still have their plaster of Paris statuette we made in her class? I still have mine…Dumbo minus his trunk :-) I have such fond memories of my school years. God’s blessings to all our school teachers who are still alive and RIP those who have gone before…Mrs Patel, Sister Candice, Sr, Maureen…

Hi, I am wondering if anyone remembers Christine and Anne Hickey.
Chris was in form 5 or 6 and I was in standard 2 when we left Africa in 1965 to settle in Australia.
My best friend at the time was Jeanette Greenly (John Greenly’s daughter of East African Rally fame) whom I am trying to track down.
Also my family and I are visiting Nairobi in September- October and want to visit LCVR but after 4 emails and no reply am getting anxious.
The phone numbers on website are for skype and with that I’m also unsuccessful. Can anyone help me with the phone number to the office.
Would love to hear from anyone who remembers us. It would more likely to be Chris that anyone may remember as she was 16, but I was only 8 when we left.
Much thanks,
Anne Williams (nee Hickey)

Oh that photo brings back memories! LCVR was my life for 12 yrs. 1981 to 1992. Thanks to all my Teachers for helping shape my life. I cherish the friendship of classmates most of whom I still keep in touch with to date. LCVR rocked!

Hey Rekha, I remember you. We were in the same class (1966-69). I remember Anita, and Joy who came from the same primary school I did (Catholic Parochial). I saw some of the nuns years after because my daughter ended up at Msongari. Mother Teresina (then mother superior ended up at Msongari too). Apart from Eileen Sutherland (now Hughes), and Lydia Muchene (now Waiyaki) – who I socialized with a bit in the 80′s I have not seen any of the old loreto girls from the mid 1960′s. Hope some of them will post a comment here.
On another note, that photo brings back such memories. those stairs by the Chapel were off limits in the 1960′s and the door was never open except maybe on Sundays. We used the other entrance by the office where Mrs. Cardozo the secretary used to sit. How I miss those good old school days!
