I went to an all-girl Catholic school (had to follow what my sister had chosen). I initially loathed it (for no other reason than all my primary school friends were going to the local Catholic Co-ed, which looking back now, I'm very thankful I didn't go to ). Anyway by year 8 I had formed firm friendships and some of my best times were had at my school! I knew no one when I started in Year 7 but didn't take long to make friends

eta: 20 years on and I'm still bff with my bestie from Year 8
