Greek school teacher Stamatia Kyratzis. (1928-2021) was lovingly known to her Greek Australian students as Thia Toula even though she was no one’s real aunt.
The location of her class was held in various Anglican and Catholic church halls throughout Esternwick and Gardenvale as there was no Greek church in close proximity. Many of these churches and their halls have since been purchased by the Jewish community and converted into Jewish schools.
The Greek parents in these suburbs banded together at one time hoping to raise enough to buy and retain the Greek school at a permanent location but they were outbidded. And so students faithfully followed Thia Toula wherever she could establish herself after initially starting with only a few students in her home.
