Pauline Jack is an Aboriginal woman from the Ringer Soak Community more than 100 kilometres from Halls Creek in the Broome Diocese. She is a teacher of Religious Education, English, Local language called Jaru, Cultural Dance and Lore, hunting & gathering bush tucker. Pauline makes learning interesting, showing her students bush medicine and poisonous plants.Pauline has seen the influence her study has had on her community. More students are coming to school now and are attending more regularly because she is able to instruct them in Religious Education and pass on a greater knowledge of English to them. Pauline had a dream in which Jesus asked her to study at Nungalinya College in Darwin. Catholic Mission subsidises the College to assist the students in their learning.The students of Nungalinya say that studying at the college, in English, improves their own English speaking and writing abilities. This improved ability is then passed on to their communities once they return there, through their bible instruction and sharing in English. Catholic Mission supports Nungalinya College by funding two Theology lecturers. |
