educated at Penrith Public School, Bathurst District School and at the Teachers’ College
Sydney. Gained a Teachers’ 3B Classification, also 3A Certificate. Had considerable teaching
experience in Australia.
As a young woman she desired to serve in China, and as her own Church, (the Presb. Church
of Australia) had no mission work there, she sought and found work with the Presb. Church of
NZ Canton Villages Mission.  She was a trained teacher, and leader in the Presb. Fellowship
Union of NSW (Youth Organization of the Australian Church).

Tak Kei Girls School, Kong Chuen, Teacher 1924 - she served her whole career in one school.

return to the Mission field so she accepted a position as a Home Missionary at Canowindra
26.4.1942
War conditions required her to leave China and she went to serve at Macao 1941.

“Throughout her missionary career, Miss Yansen gave herself to one institution – the Tak Kei
Girls’ Boarding School. Through many changing circumstances she served it at Kong Chuen,
Yan Woh, and Macao. All she did was marked by thoroughness and carefull preparation.
She held high standards before her pupils whether in conjunction with home life in a boarding
school or preparation for Church membership, or the writing of English. She was a great
believer in intercessory prayer and acted on that behalf. Her friendship and her consistent
desire for their best welfare have left a lasting effect on many of her fellow teachers and pupils.”
