St. Lawrence’s Boys' School in Karachi, Pakistan, owned by the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Karachi, has been described as a reputable private institution providing an immaculate standard of education.〔(Dawn 12 June 2012 )〕 ==History== Soon after St. Lawrence’s Parish opened in 1929 two schools were started to serve the community.〔Mascarenhas, Oswin (2011). The Origin and Evolution of St Lawrence's Parish, Karachi, Pakistan: The Garden Area with the Settlement of the Christian Community (Kindle Location 572). Kindle Edition.〕 The parish opened the Infant Jesus School managed by the Daughters of the Cross. It had nursery and primary school classes. The Jufelhurst school, although privately owned, had classes up to the Matriculation and Senior Cambridge levels. At the primary level it had boys as well as girls. 〔Mascarenhas (Kindle Locations 847-849 and 851-852)〕 Although both accepted boys at the primary level, a separate Parish school for boys from the primary level upwards was required. In December 1950 the Parish Priest Fr. Victorino Fernandes started St. Thomas’s School in a room of the Parish House. He changed the name to St. Lawrence’s Boys' School in 1951.〔Mascarenhas (Kindle Locations 1711-1714)〕 In 1954, Fr. Joshua Sterk became the principal and took the school a step forward, advancing to class IX at the beginning of scholastic year 1954-55. It was towards the end of the year that the school was visited for the first time by representatives of the Catholic Board of Education.〔(St. Lawrence’s Boys' School website )〕 During the nationalisation of all schools and colleges in the country by the Government in August 1972, the School although originally on the nationalisation list was later removed from the list.〔Mascarenhas (Kindle Locations 2593 and 2604)〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「St. Lawrence's Boys School」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
