    Heading down to the Men`s Bathing Place as soon as school closed half day for the summer, and passing the smokes around to celebrate!

    Being in sixth class under the school hall, teacher was Sr. Imelda (very cool, red-headed, american nun), in the year when St. David`s went Co-Ed!
    There was one token male pupil in my class full of girls! :)

    St.David's when Co-ed in 84? I was in in 85 and it seemed like it had been that way for years.

    Sister Imelda? No idea who that is either.

    Sr. Jean Francis
    Sr. Antoinette
    Sr. Catherine
    Sr. Anna

    Thats about all I remember of the nuns.

    Having 7 Maths teachers in one term... combination of breakdowns, new teachers etc...

    A certain Science Teacher who could talk about painting drying all day and still have all the lads in love.

    No, it was circa `74 when it went co-ed.

    In my day, our science teacher was Mr. Costello, who could blush at the drop of a hat!

    Having Art classes with Sr. Regina!

    Taking photos of Mr. Canty in Irish class, and having the camera confiscated!

    Hearing about the shinanigans that went on during the school trip to Shakespeare`s Country, and wishing I had gone too :D

    The Great Apple Butt Fight of '86. Everyone piled into the canteen and asked who started it by Ms Keogh.

    'I am Spartacus...' moment as everyone raised their hand.
