Draft:Sacred Heart School ( Alexandria )

• Comment: Requires significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources to show notability. Rejected as repeated re-submission without attempting to show notability or provide sources for most of the claims KylieTastic (talk) 11:37, 24 December 2024 (UTC)

• Comment: Just wasting our time KylieTastic (talk) 11:34, 24 December 2024 (UTC)

• Comment: Resubmitted without any meaningful improvement. Given that, and the lack of evidence of notability even after multiple declines, I can only conclude that better sources are not available, and the subject is therefore not notable enough to justify inclusion. To avoid further reviewer time being expended on this, I am now rejecting than merely declining this draft. DoubleGrazing (talk) 09:32, 24 December 2024 (UTC)

• Comment: Please read and understand the notability requirements for organisations, WP:ORG. The sources in this draft fall well short of what is required. DoubleGrazing (talk) 09:20, 24 December 2024 (UTC)

History

A photo of the students of the Sacred Heart School

The Sacred Heart School was established in 1924, when a simple building was rented in the Ibrahimiyya area to provide educational services to the girls of Alexandria. The school's nuns made their own efforts to prepare the building to be suitable for study, and after a short period, the number of female students increased due to the school's distinctive service and high level of performance.

Over time, with this building located directly in front of the sea, the building needed maintenance every year to the point that the nuns in the winter days would move the sleeping beds from one place to another due to rainwater leaking from the windows, and due to special circumstances, the owner of the building wanted to sell it, so the nuns had to search for another alternative place, in order to provide educational services to girls in the past

In March 1955, the school was officially transferred from Al-Ibrahimiya to the Roushdi area. The number of nuns at that time was 25, but their number decreased nowadays to only two nuns.

The Demonstration

On 3 March, 1999, the head of the nuns issued a decision to recall the two nuns, sister Mary Veronice, and end her work in Egypt. There were repeated manifestations of love and loyalty for her efforts, and everyone asked the officials to intervene. Amr Moussa, the Minister of Foreign Affairs at the time, contacted the Vatican ambassador and solved this problem and kept her. A student said: “Sister Veronice is not just a nun or an ordinary school principal. Despite being firm at work, she was not harsh with us as students. She dealt with us and our mistakes with wisdom, not violence. She had many humane stances.” She adds: “We learned from her precision in everything, respect for the young and old, and respect for order. She taught us its value when we heard the news of her leaving us.”

On 11 February 2015, students at Sacred Heart School in Roushdi demonstrated after two nuns from the Irish Catholic Church arrived to take Sister Mary Veronice to her original home in Ireland after she reached the retirement age of 75. The students and their parents saw Sister Mary's tears because of her desire to stay and die in Egypt. A mother of one of the students said: "I was surprised by my daughter's tears when she learned of Sister Mary's departure, and she threatened not to go to Sacred Heart School without her."
