The compound was a place where I had to lock my bike on the Monday morning and avoid the puke...

Hi Maureen, When I went to the Grove (86-90) it was definitely referred to as the Compound, this is the first I've heard of it being called the courtyard but as we went different years..... Anyone else out there remember it being called the Courtyard? |

I THINK it was called the Courtyard in the early 80s, June, but I'm not certain

Deffo the compound. It was built in the early '80s... about 82-83. And it probably was me own puke...

Hmm, built in the early 80s? - maybe I'm mixed up then as the place I remember for 'air' was out through the glass-doors of the long hallway, that ran the length of the main hall, into a grassy and gravel area with fencing. Everyone used to spill out there for a breather. Pretty sure the place I remember was built before 1980 as that was the year I left school, and you could see the grassy/gravel place from our pre-fab classroom (the old cloakroom) in St. Pauls. Maybe this explains the mix-up between compound/courtyard?

I'm with Tonto - the compound was the place for bikes.
Never heard of the courtyard - more Jane Austen than St Paul's I would have thought? |

I'm searching for that cash I should have saved for the crash

I think Jane Austin would turn in her grave if she knew the 'courting procedure' in the Courtyard

Probably just be jealous that she'd missed all the fun!! Knew it as the Compound in my day, never a whisper of the Courtyard, sounds very posh - sure you're not thinking of Wesley Maureen? |

Always the compound when I went, go out for some air and maybe a "chat" with some nice girl if you were lucky. Did anyone go to or know anyone who went to Chanel in Coolock? Thats where i went, left in '85! Just wondering????
