Miss Barbara Jackson

The community of Wenona and Wenonians Inc are very saddened to hear of the death of Miss Barbara Jackson yesterday morning after a period of illness. Miss Jackson was the Principal of Wenona from 1967 to 1994.

After her principalship, Barbara Jackson returned to her birth place to live with her sister Norma Simon in Stockport, England.

Miss Jackson was a formidable woman who shaped the lives of her many students. Wenona was a huge part of Miss Jackson's life and she will be very fondly remembered by all who knew her. Our thoughts and prayers go to Miss Jackson's sister Norma Simon.

Miss Barbara Jackson.

Emilie Ditton (1992) married Andrew Mills from Melbourne on Saturday 22 October 2005.

Emilie and Andrew met in London five years ago. The wedding was at Jonahs, Palm Beach. Bridesmaids were Rosanna (1997) and Georgia (1999) Ditton, and groomsmen Rob Mills and Todd Sunderman. About 80 guestes included from Wenona - Lani Rawson, Tara Cheesman, Lisette Cochineas (Lumb), Nicole Tainsh (Downes) and Jane McAdam all from 1992.

The major event besides wedding was a whale breaching just before Emilie came out, which was quite entertaining for the guests and apparently a sign of good luck under Norwegian folk law, according to our one Norwegian guest!

Emilie is the daughter of Dianna Crebbin (1967)
