Marva Temple was highly educated and an activist around the education of children thought to be mentally deficient or subnormal. She arrived in Australia around 1928, after pursuing an education overseas. She had a radio programme on 2BL's women's sessions about 'training the child' and dealing with problems such as stammering. She appears to have begun working for Moresland Special School soon afterwards. She left in the mid-1930s to set up St Thomas More's School.
