Diana says, “This photograph of the nuns with the Bishop was taken when I was a pupil 1945 to 1956. The nuns are wearing the ‘old’ habit which was updated while I was there. Of the ones in the photo I recall Sisters Agnes, Monica, Angela, Mary Francis, Mary Magdalen (Headmistress), Ursula (Sister Superior), Mary Catherine (Mother Provincial) and Dorothy (School Nurse).“Sister Mary Cecelia (usually known as Sister Cecelia) is probably in the photo. She was a teacher, but not all nuns were teachers and not all the teachers were nuns. I remember well a teacher named Mrs Kelly who was a doctor’s wife from Wellington Road; her daughter Moira attended the school.”
