In 1949 June-Dally Watkins emerged as Australia's 'Model of the Year' and was declared "Australia's Most Photographed Model" for the same year. Building on her modeling success and driven by her mother's determination, Miss Dally set about establishing the first Personal Development School in the southern hemisphere.
From there, Miss Dally has expanded the school to include Australia's first Business Finishing College, school holiday programmes, weekend courses and corporate training.
Miss Dally is also the Ambassador for Crossroads International, a charity which provides for the destitute in third world countries.
