   That picture brings back memories of a lovely, very innocent time. I did my “O” levels there in 1977. Thank you Mother Philip whereever you may be and to Mrs KB too, I speak fluent French now!!!

   Talk about memories!!!….i remember coming back from swimming training and passing by those steps (we weren’t allowed to go up…that was the chapel and noise was frowned upon in that vicinity). Yes those were innocent times……for the most part……..times that formed the basis of many many other experiences…..nice pic Jerry…its amazing what a simple picture can do to the archived files in ones memory bank!!

   Remember Sister Cannis, Sister Redempta (yes, the one who had high heels!) I was a primary school student between 1976 – 1982 (Mrs Gomez taught me in std.1, and I had Mrs de Souza in std.2…..thanks to her ruler technique I have always got my spelling right…lol)

   My name is kefiloe makoae. A female from lesotho. My father was a High commissioner in kenya and I studied at Lorreto convent (LCVR), my old school that I so cherished, I did my primary from 1969 to 1971.

   I used to be in a red house group and played Hockey and Tennis for the school. My class teacher was Mrs Clay. My other teachers were mother Carmel, Mr Naik, Mrs Cardoso, and Mrs Hopkins. I can’t remember who my hockey, tennis, music and ballet and french teachers were. Could someone who studied at this school during these years please remind meet me who they were and let know at treatydee@hotmail.com whether they are still alive. I would be so grateful if they still would be, even though we are miles apart.

   I remember my old school colleagues, whom some of them could be married by now and changed surnames. I remember Sharon Monsherry(Seychelles), Betty Wamalwa(kenya), Patiricia Awori,(Ghana), Kim Thorpe(Britain), Rasvinder Mandla(india) Valeria Rocco(Britain) Maha Tawfik(Egypt), Anastacia Muteshi(Kenya) and many others. Girls, we need to get in touch, please contact me at this above e-mail address.

   I am now a journalist and work for a government owened radio and television station and travel a lot. we may happen to meet sometime as I travel.

   I remembe these steps so well as I walked into the Chapel, and at the end of the chapel building, I would turn to the left, walk some few feet more, climb up the stairs and reach my classroom.

   My greatest thanks to everyone at the school. I am what I am today because of this beautiful school, though my french is very poor. instead, I speak fluent spanish now.

   Please put more pictures for the school so we can get a clear picture. When I saw this portion of the school, I went so crazy, and shouted, this is it!!!!!!! this is it!!!!, and indeed it is it.

   OH!!! PLEASE GET IN TOUCH WITH ME. I would like to be updated on the school. I am so excited that I don’t know what to say or do……………….. LONG LIVE LCVR.

   Awesome pics! I have fond memories of this place. My 3 sisters and I all went to LCVR from Std 1 till form 4. I remember many of the teachers: Mrs Gomez in std one (until she broke her leg and Mrs Kaya took over); Mrs Vanderlan in Std 2, Mrs Nyagah in Std 3, Mrs Mugeni in std 4 etc. Played piano, and tennis. Oh, and I remember swimming training with Mrs Raburu. Great school!!! I wish they had a website!

   What a beautiful photograph – I loved LCVR and was there from 1972 to 77. Such wonderful memories of happy, innocent times. I remember Sister Peter Claver and Mother Carmel, being hockey goalie for the 2nd xi and Art with Tovey (who bred alsations). I miss those days, and Kenya.

    Was a “family school”, my sister 12 yrs my cousin’s 12yrs, the girls were fine looking, could not wait for KBS to stop at community and entertain my eys, and their “twengs” and “petho” on the KBS? can’t touch that? Lovely school. I hope the school flay is still being hoisted high.
