1978 Lois as part of the staff at St Bernard's College in Essendon

Lois, along with fellow Braemar teacher Marg Brickhill, signed on at St Bernard’s College in West Essendon, a Catholic boys school for the start of the 1978 school year. She was certainly garnering a wide variety of teaching jobs! As usual, her load included Y11 and Y12 Accounting, along with Y11 Econmics. Lois was now a senior teacher and her teaching duties reflected her seniority, albeit still relatively young There she met her Tim, a romance blossomed and they were married at St Linus Church in Merlynston on 23rd December 1978.
