    This is the School where I studied from 1960 to 1967. I finished an Electrician's course there and follow with two years of preparation for tertiary education. The school provided careers in Electrical, Mechanical, Carpentry / Civil Engineering, Commerce and "Formação Feminina" a multi tasking course dedicated to girls. Those days it was believed that the best place for the women was the kitchen (God help me!!!).
