Bede School escape route was across the back field into Barnes Park, then the world was your oyster! The school then recruited a Truancy Officer called Mr McKenzie.. this made dolling a little more difficult! Great days.THE escape route at Farra was after getting your mark was to run diagonally across yard towards the swimming baths, along side of them and then over fence and into flats at side of school. This practise stopped when scatter guns were installed .
The 5th year, I understand that it’s all year year 11 and all that nonsense now!Used to do the same at Thornhill. Get your mark then nash out up the bank and over the fence. Used to run up at first but as got in 5th year it was a casual stroll up bank and the odd flick of the Vs at any teacher shouting.
Bede and Thornhill sworn enemies in them days!!!
