This is a rare photo of my father Solino taken with his sister's school mates in around 1925. The story as I know it is that his sisters went to the original St. Mary's school at Bathurst and Adelaide and it was not the school that sits on the west side it is the building that is at the back of St. Mary's Church near the present rectory house. There was a building there that was the school note the wooden floor and the buttresses of the church. The present school was built shortly after and than the original school building was used as a boys and girls club. My father's sister Sabina (back row end on right side of picture) was responsible for him that day and she took him along with her on picture day and he was told to sit there and he became part of the group.
