This shows what I have always stated about my school, St Peters. Church-controlled schools operated on a different set of rules compared to those that were 100% under State control. It also, at last, makes it clear that no two schools were ever the same. Just because something was/was not the case in one person’s school does not mean it was so in every school. Maybe, if a few of our members who have now left, had understood this more people would have been inclined to post about what had taken place in their school, without the fear of being accused of lying because it did not match another person’s experience.
