Mary said, “Whilst at boarding school there were some good times, however, we had to make our own fun, which we did! Regularly, in the warmer months, we had our weekly swim at the beach. Some of us enjoyed tennis and basketball at which we did well winning some competitions. Each Sunday morning, we eagerly looked forward to receiving a list of the football results from the car driver.”
In 1955 Mary joined a religious order – the Little Company of Mary at Lewisham NSW, and has given a life of service for others. The little Company of Mary is a nursing order founded in Nottingham UK in 1877 by Mary Potter to pray
