From our “Graduates”

My best memory of OTR has to be the delicious tuna bake, I loved it when I was there and I am still cooking it to this day (in fact I think if it hadn’t been for tuna bake, I would have starved at university!) I also remember many happy birthday parties (mixed with very dodgy 80’s fashion!) Of course who could forget the Christmas plays – I was very happy because I was an angel, I think my sister Eve was a little less thrilled because she was a donkey! Oh – I also had my first boyfriend at OTR!

I am currently brand manager at Vichy and Skinceuticals at L’Oréal.

I LOVED IT! My happiest childhood memories, weird as it may sound, are of helping Miss Dorothy, the cook, to clean up after lunch! and also, of me playing with all my friends upstairs under the watchful eye of my teachers and Miss Bernie who I loved to bits!

I just finished school and will be starting Law at Queen’s or Cambridge next year.

I remember the best years of my life were at Over the Rainbow! My favourite memory was the Graduation Day. All us kids were suited and booted and singing nursery songs at the tops of our voices. Postman Pat was there as well! I gave one of my teachers a big kiss after I got my certificate! What a great day!

I will be starting dentistry at University in September.
