Crying at the moment for my poor Mum. We have the Centenary Celebrations for our Primary School, St Brigid's in Mordialloc, coming up in August this year and past pupils have been asked if they would care to share some memories from their time there.
I was 3rd generation at my primary school, so we have many past pupils in our family, and I have been asking some of my family members about it. I always knew my Mum absolutely hated Primary School and that she'd "had a hard time" but today she told me what actually happened:
She was regularly caned by Mother Carmel, the Principal, till she wet her pants in front of the class
I was flabbergasted and shaking. I just feel so terrible for her. This will have affected her her whole life and she's only just told me now. She will be 65 this year.
I'm going to submit it to the person collating the memories from past pupils and see if it gets published - but I'm betting it won't.
