You might have seen the Royal Commission re the Marist Brothers recently. I was a student of theirs for 7 years and those times were tough with liberal use of the cane offset by, in my experience, by dedication to their students which went beyond their brief. I was aware of one brother but was never taught by him, who was transferred with a nod and a wink, not that I was aware at the time of what that meant. I was set upon by one Brother with a blow to the head with the full force of a hardcover book in what would now be regarded as a severe assault but that was a rare instance and I survived with the help of my other teachers to achieve my goals with Honours. I was at one stage the Chairman of a Retail group of 150+ stores so intellectually no harm done in fact I believe I left their care installed with a good education and discipline both in my life and sports (although not an achiever in that direction). I have been astounded by the revelations and was just wondering about other peoeples experiences? Any feeedback can be private if requested. Our Racing results were reasonably positive yesterday.
