Proud to be a Benedictine

Proud to be a Benedictine.the oldest Roman Catholic school in Sri Lanka, was inaugurated in 1865 by the Benedictine Monks. My School.

Hope anyone remember Mr Atkinson who was in charge of the linking the students to the classes with a cain,
and the pupils had to stand where ever they are on his first wistle for one minute and on the second wistle one had to go to your class and line up outside and on his third wistle we were allowed to go in to class. I can remember moving while his back was turned towards me, and if he see moving and get caught to him, one will be chained.
Good old colonial rules, by Brother Athernisious of london.
Also the Banion tree where one had the public caining.
Beautiful memories
