PAULINE CARRIGAN – FOUNDER Pauline Carrigan would describe herself as a farmer’s wife and married to Hilton, they have lived their married life on a cattle property where they raised their family. Pauline is the founder, driver and visionary of Where there’s a Will. Her momentum, perseverance and commitment to create a flourishing Upper Hunter community where our youth can thrive is unparalleled. As a team, we continually take inspiration from her. Pauline’s top character strengths are gratitude, honesty, perseverance, love and creativity. These strengths have changed since the beginning of Pauline’s journey, when she founded Where there’s a Will. Pauline explains, “I came to realise how thankful I was that everyone shared this vision and were willing to work with me. Honesty is something that has grown as I see the importance of sharing why we need to follow the vision of Where there’s a Will.” “Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.“ Nelson Mandela. This is one of Pauline’s favourite quotes. Her belief is that Positive Education will change our Upper Hunter community and she will make it her quest to make that happen.
