Trying To Remember
A Memory of Fornethy Residential School.
My sister and I was sent to a residential school in Perth I think this must be the same one. Was this the school where you couldn’t wear trousers I remember being sent there with a trouser suit on and was made to take it off even though the top showed our pants. The first night we cried and were made to sit on the threadbare carpet all night . If you wet the bed the wet sheets were displayed on the chair and you were hit by your dorm captain. I was made to eat boiled eggs mixed with macaroni and was told I was to eat it even if I felt sick. Can’t stand to look at boiled eggs or macaroni now
