Were you at Penrhos College in the 1960s?
Ex Penrhosian Jane Laxton (Brightwell/Jennings) is aiming to launch a new “Register of Past Pupils” from the decade of the 1960s. She hopes to create an A4 booklet with photographs included, and she is asking old girls from that era to get in touch and write a couple of paragraphs for this ‘magazine’. This would cover their best memories from Penrhos College, and a note on their careers/lives after school. (The booklet would only be available from the Rydal Penrhos Alumni office).
As Jane goes on to say “One tends to keep in touch with school friends from one’s own year group, but school houses covered all ages, as did sports and drama, so it would be of great interest to hear from as many Old Penrhosians as possible.” If you would like to get involved then do contact Jane on jennings258@btinternet.com or call her on 07762 746781, she is ready to receive replies with eagerness and anticipation!
As example of the type of information Jane would like to put in the register she has reported on herself “Following my schooling I went on to open my own school, and to play the violin in a semi-professional ensemble in London. I married two teachers (one history and one music) and have two sons. The younger “boy” is 34 and is Director of Music at a public school in Oxfordshire!”
To help or get involved with any of the above please do contact Sarah James, Pupil Liaison Office on SJames@rydalpenrhos.com
