The goalposts look like those for soccer, but it was rugby played here. The top floors had dormitories for boarders, ground and first floor classrooms, gymnasium, assembly hall - a school self contained in one building except for a few huts on the left of the photo. Black and white 6x6 cm photo from Agfa Isolette, scanned from negative.
