1976 Year 7B Class Mistress at Braemar College, Mt Macedon191 viewsIn the 1975 Christmas holidays, Lois saw an advertisement for a new Christian Community school called Braemar College, about to start in Mt Macedon, replacing the old Clyde College. She was successful in her application and she moved to Mt Macedon in early 1976, where she rented an outhouse in one of the properties on the mount.
Her time there was busy by any standard, with Y12 Commercial and Legal Studies, Y11 Accounting, Economics, Commercial and Legal Studies and Typing, along with Y7 Biblical Studies. Add in roles as Commerce Coordinator, Bookshop Coordinator and Camp Coordinator and you start to wonder how she survived. But survive she did, and thrived. Aug 24, 2020

1973 The Fullam Gilliat Girls School were Lois taught in London166 viewsGilliat Girls School eventually combined with the local Fulham Girls Grammer to create Fulham Gilliat Girls School, and Lois was happy to keep teaching there. One interesting story from that period concerns an ongoing bomb threat. At the same time each Wednesday, a bomb threat would be called into the local police and the school would be evacuated (this was the days of the IRA bombing campaign). No bomb was ever found and the word was that it was a disgrunted student who hated one particular class so much that this was the innovative way in which to deal with it.Aug 24, 2020
