Fornethy Residential School

A Memory of Fornethy Residential School.

I can not remember exactly when i was there was 70,s or and 80,s i remember all the chorea we had to do i cant remember what house i was in i was there with my 2 sisters on 1 occasion my sister was ill in 1of the upstairs dorms we where going on 1 of the long long walks she was allowed somebody to stay with he but me or my other sister wasnt allowed
I also remember easter we got the boiled eggs went for the walk and got to roll them down a hill that was full of cow dung and we were still made to eat them.

I remember the song we we made up and sang about the school it went like

Ontop of fornethy all covered in snow i sh-- my poor teacher 5 minutes ago
I sh-- her with pleasure
And the rest

I rember the kitchen atea where we use to eat it was 5 or 6 to a table you had to eat every single thing i was force fed once somebody stootup to 1 of the teachers because of it she got a terrible slap and got dragged out the dinner room screaming many a time to this day i have a eating disorder i remember the Caster oil punishments and the bar of soap in the mouth
The medicals we had to get before we went to amd the constant hair checking for nits
The movie nights where good we got tuck shop if we where good and there where singing sessions like church

I remember out side the house the play area we had and the wee shop or was it a wee house in it where we would play thats the only good memory i have and sitting in the back row of the bus they took is on singing 3 little birds
We all got to write letters home but we where told what we could write about and what we couldnt
