After having been taught at this school by a teacher from New Zealand it always inspired me to try and visit this part of the world.In 1969 at the age of 17 my family migrated to Australia.I have since been to New Zealand several times and it is every bit as beautiful as the photos my teacher showed the class when I was at St Michaels.I lived right across the road from the school at number 51.I have fond memories of playing with classmates and doing my eleven plus which I must have failed as I went to Arnos Grove high school in Southgate.The school dinner was the high point in the day and was never better than when we got to eat tomato sauce,mashed potato and a slice of cold meat which we call Polony in Australia.The schools in Perth Western Australia are usually set in beautiful gardens with lots of huge gum trees for shade so the children can eat their lunch which they buy at the canteen.They must wear a hat outside at all times and the class has a big bottle of sunscreen for those that dont have any.The policy of most schools is No hat No play.I remember Tottenhall Road being snowed in on several accasions.Today the weather is 39 degs and not expected to cool down until the weekend.Anyway, rememberence day is for me more than poppies.
