QC... bank

Many incidences of theft occurred with boarders' monies. Seeing as all we had were lockers, and tiny padlocks to lock them (those padlocks were more a box-ticking exercise, than a serious deterrent to crime).

To think that the same girls who were being educated to be fashionable, sophisticated, classy women were petty thieves is unbelievable, but trust me, there were a few culprits, who stole for the fun of it (Think Thomas Crown in the Thomas Crown affair) they were just thieves, period.

In response to this, the school decided to introduce a banking system - led by Citi. Although a tad bit tedious, in that you had to write yourself a cheque, and sign it, then queued at a make-shift container-bank whenever you needed money; the system mostly worked.

Doubtful how sustainable it was, does anyone know if this system still exists 10 years on?
