Easter Term of 1971 (shared by Jenny Evelyn) The 4th formers held a netball match between teachers and senior school students as a fundraiser. Their goal was to raise funds for a gym mat.

Memories (Shared by June Fielding nee Bethell) My memories of SWS are beautiful from beginning to end. It started in George Street but quickly moved to Pine Hill, where we had “Hall” or morning prayers under the enormous tree. There is so much I could say but I must tell you what my last day was like. Miss Laborde was headmistress. Word had gotten around that I had chosen to get a marriage certificate instead of an academic one. When I went to the staff room to say goodbye, there was an arch formed headed by Miss Laborde, and they were all singing “Here comes the Bride” as loud as they could. It was just so very beautiful, I have never forgotten it. A great finish to my wonderful school years at SWS. My heart continues to be there, having had 3 daughters there, then 4 grandsons, this term will find 4 great-grands there.

Happy Memories (Shared by Dorothy Fraser) I went to St. Winifred's school in the mid-forties. My name at that time was Dorothy Patricia Cummins. I have many happy memories and still have friends from that time. We had to take part in a sport and I was not very good at sports. I chose tennis, still not very good at it. My granddaughter Lauren Boland is a student at St. Winifred's now and her sister Melissa also was a student. Happy 100th Anniversary to a great school.
