A nostalgic tour of my school St Peter's RC school in Southbourne, England

I was very lucky to study at the Roman Catholic school, St Peter's in Southbourne, U.K from 1981 to 1988. Every few years, the drama teacher organises a reunion with former pupils to sing at the Showcase at the famous De la Salle theatre. This year, I decided to visit the campus. It is very large with amazing views of the Isle of Wight and the sea. The site has a lot of history and of course a lot of memories. Please enjoy my video and also another official video made by a drone!

I was in Dr. Phithean's Upper Sixth class in his first year as a teacher. He had a Phd for his paper 'The role of Ascorbate Oxidase in Plant Cell Walls' - cutting edge research in 1967/68.

Very different from 1962 when I started there as a 12 year old. My first dormitory was in the old building. Class 2 alpha was on the top floor (by the main middle school dorm) of what you called the 'science block'.

We had no dedicated 6th Form in the late 60's but as most of us were 'boarders' with private rooms it didn't matter. Sixth form classes were held in (since I studied sciences) science labs, the demonstration room (for mathematics) and any available classrooms.

So many memories.. Still seems strange that it's all so far in the past now.

I didn't realise they'd demolished the swimming pool! If the 6th form has now moved to where the pool was, what is in the old sixth form rooms in the old building? The last few times I've been to UK I've taken my wife to hengistbury head so we've passed the school and I've always pointed it out and talked about it. Thanks for the video!
