| Personal Notes: |
|
Joyce was born in Kingaroy and lived with her parents and sisters at. 'Heathfield', Kumbia. She completed her primary education at the Kumbia State School before attending Ipswich Girls Grammar School as a boarder. Here she successfully passed her Junior and Senior Examinations, winning a Senior Scholarship to the Teachers' Training College.
Joyce graduated as a teacher in 1950 and was posted to numerous one-teacher schools in the Bundaberg district. Some years later she was transferred to Kingaroy where she met John Trew, who was also a teacher, and they were married in 1958. Their only daughter, Anne, was born in 1964. They lived and worked in Kingaroy and were very active members ofthe Kingaroy Golf Club where Joyce won many trophies proving her prowess as a golfer. In 1967 they accepted a transfer to Darnley Island in the Torres Strait This appointment proved quite an experience for them both as they were the only white people on the Island. John was the school principal and the meteorological officer while Joyce was both teacher and medical nurse. They grew to love the Islanders and their way of life as well as the sea, the fishing and the beautiful shells. They brought back an outstanding collection of Coral Reef shells and this collection can be seen today at the Queensland Museum. After Darnley Island they spent two years at each of Greenmount (near Toowoomba) and Dajarra in Western Queensland. Unfortunately their productive lives came to an end in 1971 when they were involved in a fatal car accident coming home to Kingaroy for Christmas. They were never able to take up their final posting to the Tallebudgera Camp School. |
