Joyce remembers her 5 primary schools - Peterborough, Broken Hill, Walkerville, East Adelaide and Magill.  She walked to school when she was younger, but when she went to East Adelaide she rode her two wheeler bike while dinkying her sister on the back.  After that she caught the tram to Magill Primary and Norwood Technical High School, where she completed her education at 14 1/2 years.
