Areyonga graduates soaring to new heights

by Malcolm Willcocks

Nungalinya College is proud to welcome several new graduates into its theology cohort.

Completing either Certificate 3 or Certificate 4 qualifications in Christian Ministry and Theology, Nungalinya welcomes Hilda Bert, Makinti (Isabel) Windy and Carolyn Windy, all from Areyonga.
Hilda, has been an energetic leader in her community and church, as well as a valued member of the Central Australian Aboriginal Women’s Choir (CAAWC). She graduates with a Certificate 4, a three-year, part-time course consisting of 360 hours of unsupervised study and practical experience.

Makinti and Carolyn Windy graduate with a Certificate 3, a three-year, part-time course consisting of 700 unsupervised hours. Carolyn has also been a long-standing, respected member of the CAAWC.

Main study areas include Christian Belief, the Prophets, the Epistles and Romans, Peacemaking, Hope and Healing, and Developing Ministry Skills.

We look forward to seeing where these studies take Hilda, Makinti and Carolyn.

Pastor Noel Due, from the Top End Lutheran Parish, was able to present the certificates and pray with each of the graduates.
