1973 The Fullam Gilliat Girls School were Lois taught in London24 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.

1968 Wodonga High School female staff - Lois and Kath Roberts are in the middle row23 viewsLois started her teaching career in 1968, being sent to Flemington HS. After only 2 weeks there, she was sent to Wodonga High School, where she spent a very happy 3 years. You had to go where you were sent, no questions asked. She was told on the Friday that she would be starting at Wodongo HS on the following Monday morning.
During her first year in Wodonga, she boarded. In her second year she shared a rental house with some other teachers and in the third year, she boarded with June and Ted Robertson. We have remained firm friends with the Robertsons ever since.
This is where she met Kath Roberts, another first year teacher up from Melbourne. Thus another life long friendship was kindled.
