Port Regis Catholic School For Girls

A Memory of Broadstairs.

I was at Port Regis in the 50s. I took the lead role in the Thumbelina play. Does anybody remember the crowning of Our Lady? I have a photo of that event. On the other side of the coin I was put on bread and water for three days for not eating macaroni cheese, I also saw a girl being sick because she did not like porridge and the nuns made her eat it. Sister Theresa hated my long hair and tried to make my mother cut it. Sister Mary Audrey however was quite nice and because I could act she used to give me a lot of parts in plays. I was there for a few years and have never forgotten it. Some of the things they did would never be allowed today. If you remember anything I would be pleased to hear from you.......My name was Lorraine Lamb, it is now Lorraine Ilett......

i do remember the thumbelina play, and the game of thumbelina in the quadrangle, still can sing it even now,and the nuns teaching us or trying to teach us the scottish dancing in swords crossed, then telling us all we were like a load of elephants,which i suspect was true, i have photo of me in a veil on my head and a little boy carrying a crown, although i do not remember any boys being there..
