24.01.2022 A very happy birthday to Mollie Anstee (Carter, PY 1936) who celebrated her 102nd birthday recently. Our oldest living alumna Mollie excelled at tennis and won the Victorian School Girl’s Championship at Kooyong in 1936. Mother Michael, then Superior, held a special assembly in honour of Mollie’s tennis achievement being the first Catholic school to win the Victorian School Girl’s Championship at that time. Mollie went on to win many further tennis titles and introduced cricket to Loreto. Congratulations Mollie! #loretotoorakcommunity #loretoforlife
