Leaving Ware Grammar School
A Memory of Ware.
My elder sister and I both went to Ware Grammar School. My sister Christine Beattie from 1953 to 1956 and me, Catherine (Rena) Beattie from 1955 to 1956. We travelled from Hertford by bus to school and back. We left the school in July 1956 to travel with the rest of the family as migrants to Australia.
I'll never forget the last day at Ware Grammar. My sister and I were called up by the Headmistress in front of the student body to be wished 'Good Luck in Australia.'
My sister Christine joined the Australian Army and trained as a cook, but obtained an honourable discharge to become a Salvation Army Officer. I became a Medical Laboratory Technician but in my late forties became an Industrial officer with a Union. We both look back with fondness on our time at Ware Grammar.
