Notable Alumni Visiting Redlands

It was a privilege and an absolute pleasure to welcome Pauline Lyle-Smith (RL 1963) back to Redlands while she is in town from London presenting a research paper at a conference in ANU Canberra. She was thrilled to take a tour of the Senior Campus and was highly impressed with the advancement of teaching and learning facilities since she left. We enjoyed hearing her memories of the Liggins Building where she studied Latin and French, winning the French Prize in 1963. She was very excited to learn that Latin is still taught in the Liggins Building today and admired the work of our young Latin students.

Pauline graduated with Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Laws degrees from the University of Sydney in 1968 and, after qualifying as a solicitor in NSW, practised law at Freehill, Hollingdale & Page (now Herbert, Smith Freehills). Whilst practising law she carried out evening pro bono legal work at the Wayside Chapel in King’s Cross, Sydney. She was the first female Australian qualified to practise law in NSW, (Australia), England & Wales and the USA (NY State).

Pauline has served on numerous Boards and Committees in the UK. She was Mayoress of Hammersmith and Fulham 2011/2012 and 2013/2014 and is Deputy Chairman of the Britain-Australia Society Education Trust which currently concentrates on scholarships and bursaries. She has been closely involved in assisting the local community and businesses in Hammersmith and Fulham for over 20 years.
