Thanks for all the wonderful things you did for us!


Mrs. Marie Colaco
(Ko-laa-so)

died in Canada yesterday.

Sadly, Marie Colaco School no longer exists.
But it was a really great school …
(and it was the first non-Church private English school in Karachi)

  4. I don't if this is still useful. I was a Marie Colaco student sometime between 1952 and 1956, when I left for a boarding school far away. I remember my time at Colaco fondly, not in details but vaguely. I am writing a book in which there will a reference to my time at Marie Colaco. Is there anything - photos or documents that you have access to which could be used in my writing?

    Thank you. Have a good day>
