Liz Longley (nee Montgomery)
I was at Rupert House from, I think 1974 to 1977. I was a pupil and more recently a parent of Sabrina and Rebecca Longley.
My most significant memories are:
- I remember the Mulberry tree. It was beautiful then and we could climb over it. We all had a great time playing on it. Mothers netball matches which were embarrassing for me as I found out, too late, that my mother was a very good netball Goal Shooter!
- Miss Edmunds was my Head Mistress, Audrey Millar my piano teacher.
- Writing lessons - I managed to get ink everywhere!
- I was Head Girl for a term.
I was very happy at Rupert House. It gave me a very secure and happy time in my childhood. I had lovely friendships. As a direct result, I was pleased that both my daughters went to school at Rupert House.
Walking through the door as a parent, it smelt the same and had the same lovely atmosphere. Weird but true!
