Margaret was in Room 11 and I worked in Room 12 at Bell Block School. Her classrooms were inevitably quiet .........while I suspect my classroom was always the noisey ones I envied her teaching competencies.

Mrs Stening has popped in and out of my life for over 55+ years and she was always so warm and genuine when I ran into her. Weren't we lucky to have such good mums Antony. Hopefully they will get to have a natter and a catch up about those good ol' Bell Block days. Liz Greenbank

Thinking of you and your families , Anthony, Richard and Kathryn. Margaret was a kind and caring associate and friend both at Bell Block School and, more recently, at Fitzroy where we rekindled our friendship through the Fitzroy Hall Committee activities. I wish you all my sincere condolences, whilst hoping you are also able to live with many happy memories from years past.
