1969 Wodonga High School Volleyball Coach23 viewsDuring her first 3 years of teaching at Wodonga, she taught Y11 and Y12 Accounting and Economics, Y11 Typing and Shorthand, Commercial Principles and Practice, Typing and Communication, and a mixture of Y9 and 10 Commercial subjects.

1968 Wodonga High School female staff - Lois and Kath Roberts are in the middle row21 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.Aug 24, 2020
