She left and in 1966 she was the first woman to lead a co-educational school in New South Wales.[2] Strathfield Girls High School became known as a languages high school (due to the rich cultural diversity and backgrounds of its students) in 1990.[3] Around 85% of its students are from non-English speaking backgrounds.[4]
