Story
Maureen educated at Marrar Primary School, Mt Erin
and Trinity Senior HS at Wagga. Won scholarship to Riverina College of Advanced
Education 1975-1977. Her first teaching post was to Fairfield Primary School
in Sydney where there were 48 different nationalities and 38 students in
her first class, all with VERY long names it took forever to remember. It
was a huge adjustment after Wagga but the couple (one Polish, one German)
who rented their garage to her were wonderful. After 4 years in Fairfield
there were 4 years in Concord and then about 3 years at Yowie Bay PS.
Maureen resigned to look after her 3 pre-schoolers and eventually returned
to casual work. Maureen then became a Life Education educator, traveling
around the Sutherland Shire schools for over 3 years teaching drug awareness,
giving this away when her eldest started HS.
The family has lived in Cronulla for over 13 years
and follow the Sydney Swans and Cronulla Sharks(League). Steve loves
computers, bodyboarding, snowboarding, rugby union and swimming. Brad loves
Rugby League and was School Captain in Year 6 while Nathan loves tennis and
Union. The boys will complete their schooling at St Andrews Cathedral School
in the CBD.
