Edith Cavell

Graduation

In May 2000 I graduated from the Open University of Israel with a B.A. degree in Social Sciences and Humanities.I obtained a M.A degree in Democracy Studies from the same University in March 2004.I am writing this to all you ex Edith Cavell pupils who may not have obtained their G.C.E's at school but continued to study and obtained them afterwards as I did. I also studied and obtained certificates in Book Keeping,Business Administration,Hotel Reception,Inland Revenue Inspection and Hebrew Studies.Most of my studies were in Hebrew which is a lot different from English.Therefore 40 years after leaving Edith Cavell I became a University graduate.I remember visiting the school in 1970 and being told that only 2 pupils had made it to University.Are there any more late learners out there?

in reply to the message from barbara Sinfield, I remeber a girl also in Cavalier Rusticana and Pagliacci. i beleive her name was Janet Macnally. She gave me a little metal coin that was one of many attached to her costume. I was very impressed .
