Enid Joske

Enid Joske (1890-1973), was Principal of Janet Clarke Hall from 1928 until 1952.[1] She won the Florence Stanbridge scholarship, and due to that was a resident student in the women's hostel attached to Trinity College, University of Melbourne, from which she earned her bachelor's degree in 1912 and Diploma of Education in 1913.[2] She worked as a teacher at her old school and then at Lauriston Girls' School, where she helped to found the Children's Free Lending Library at Prahran.[2] She would later serve on Lauriston's foundation council from 1948-1952, after the school was incorporated.[2] In 1927 she was invited to apply to be the principal of her old college, which had been renamed Janet Clarke Hall.[2] She improved the facilities and grew the enrollment at the college.[3]

In 1956 the Enid Joske Wing of the college was named for her.[4][2]

She had serious deafness and used a hearing aid.[2]
