Boys School Donnybrook - 3 piece suits?

MissFlitworth · 02-09-2009 1:11pm #1

Anyone know what school in Donnybrook has a 3 piece suit as a uniform? Schools are back here and just realised that some of the people milling around the place I'd mistaken for accountants are in fact about 14 years old.

They're all out the laneway beside my office at the moment smoking and looking for all the world like a group of bold confirmation kids

I'm not 100%, but think it may be John Scottus school? It's there along Morehampton Road.

Hate to admit it, but that was probably me smoking. I smoked beside offices in my suit when on my lunch break. And yes, I was a student at John Scottus, but don't get me started on that place.

Your fined 25 euro if your caught having a smoke.

Is your office behind the Donnybrook Fair?

John Scottus brainwash the children with religious fundamentalism don't they?

I've heard a lot of differing opinions on the place. Anyone who went there care to explain what the place is about?

Expensive smokes!

So illegal underage smoking only has a fine of 25 quid?
thats pretty light.

What do you want them to do if it's off school grounds? In most cases on school grounds it involves a fine + suspension, can't speak for all schools though.

Hedge schools were outdoor Catholic schools when other Catholic schools were banned here hundreds of years ago... The sort of time when when you could refer to "posh proddy schools" without sounding like a total doofus

Seems to me that he can spell but made the mistake because principal and principle are homophones.

Back on topic, the boys could possibly have been from Sandford Park School.

Lilybarlean don't ever come here correcting people's spelling, or indeed their grammar again.

3 piece suit would have been pretty cool in school. Better than a scratchy wool jumper at least.

No they either wear a jumper or blazer- it's not three piece.

I know that it's not a three-piece suit but my son is a student at Sandford and he often wears both jumper and blazer.

John Scottus wear a navy blazer and grey marl jumper so I don't see how that could be mistaken for a three-piece suit either.

Depending on where in Donnybrook the OP saw the boys it could be either of
John Scottus, Sandford Park, Gonzaga or St. Conleth's.

Putting a three piece suit on a young lad. Talk about setting them apart. What kind of notions is that giving the young fellows? Some of these little guys could be thinking they are a cut above perhaps, purely because of what they are wearing, not because of their ability. I wore a school uniform but I would have been mortified if I had to parade around in a 3 piece suit.

scifi77 · 09-09-2010 6:04pm

It would also be interesting to know what the fees are for this particular establishment.

most the schools around d4 are 3 piece suit schools. i went to conleths, there was a 3 piece suit option, not many wore it, was mainly the junior school wearing it, john scottus in general wore it alot more

Well statistics don't lie my friend and most of those guys will end up in suits anyway, so they might aswell get used to being better that guys running around in tracksuits etc
