Colonial Algerian School Uniform:  Individual Schools--Rinitaires school/ Ecole des Soeurs Trinitares


Figure 1.--Rinitaires school was located in Oran. We know nohting more about the school. It looks to be a Catholic school. It was an all boys school. 

Rinitaires school was located in Oran, Algeria during the French colonial period. Oran was and continues to be Algeria's principal port. We know nohting more about the school. We are not sure when it was founded. We note that it was functioning in the 1920s. At first we thought it was a state school. The portal over the door, however, looks rather like a Catholic school and we now know that the name of the school was Ecole des Soeurs Trinitares. Perhaps Rinitaires was a neighborhood of Oran. The class here is all boys. We thought it was an all boys' school, but we see girls in some classes. We note one image from the school from 1949. The class is not identified, but we would guess that it was a maternelle or kindergarten-level class. The 1949 class photograph is notable for the variety of outfits and hairstyles. The boys mostly wear short pants, but quite a number of boys wear romper suits or romper pants. At least one boy wears a smock. One boy wears knickers. Almost all of the boys have short hair, but one boy has long ringlet curls, unusual but not unknown at the time. An internet website about the school has some additional class portraits, but we do not see any further information about the school.
