My name is Maryse LAIK and I was pensionary at the French School of Saint Joseph from 1962 to 1966. My teachers were S.Eugenie (teaching Maths), S.Theresa, S.Agnes, S.Frederique (teaching English), Mr Matalon and Mme Fahri. I met S.Eugenie in 1986 in Jaffa and a Irish sister in Jerulam working in the hospital.
I am looking after Jocelyne Fillin, Dolores Miras (Loli), Annie..., Dominique..., Gaya Alfassi and Leila...(Palestinian), Anne Philipp, Rose-Marie Abada in the classes of 6éme and 5éme. Thank you in advance if you know any of them
A few British girls attended, too. One was name was Diane. One boy I befriended who attended was Jeffrey. He was Jewish. He and I sat on the steps and cried because, then, I believed in Jesus and he didn’t, and we were too young to know why our beliefs were set so tightly. It was at that very moment that I became aware that all religions have some worth, much like Joseph Campbell believes, and that we should all stay open to accepting others of different faiths. The floor tiles in the courtyard were large and checkerboard black and white.
..or google the words Old Jaffa, David Pride .. and you'll find the link.
Another picture of the school can be found by googling these words: David Pride, St Joseph school, Jaffa"
I attended this school, St Joseph, from ages 7-8, 1957-1958. My parents were in the foreign service. Mostly girls attended but also a few boys. I attended St Joseph until the American School in Herzeliah opened. French was taught through Aesop's fables. It was run by nuns. Girls wore light blue pinafore uniforms with white collars and were taught French embroidery. Tamarind trees grew behind the back courtyard where we played during recess. When you entered the building there was a little shop or room where you could buy school supplies..copy books, sliding wooden boxes to hold pencils. After school let out, men selling fresh warm bread shaped like pretzels with sesame seeds, the bread in a large aquarium-looking container, atop his head. He would sell his bread to the children after school let out.
السلام عليكم

لقد تحولت هذه المدرسة من مدرسة الفرير الى مدرسة "أجيال" الثانوية قبل عدة أعوام قليلة بادارة جلال طوخي
ومن الجدير ذكره بانه تبنى مدرسة جديدة لينتقل الطلاب اليها ولا أعلم مصير هذه البناية بعد نقل المدرسة الى مكان آخر ولكنها ما زالت تابعة للفرير!
النقل سيتم في السنة الدراسية القادمة
