Personality
As headmistress of Ela Beach Primary School, Port Moresby, for the last nine years, Jo Keating has led a busy and interesting life.
She has lived in the territory for 18 years—teaching at Wau, Rabaul, Lae, Madang.
At one stage of her career, in her home town Perth, Western Australia, Jo tried routine office work, but gravitated back to her natural love of teaching.
In 1966 she created a film ‘Time for the Bell” as a school project.
It has been shown at P-NG theatres and in Australia.
In 1964 Jo went to the US as guest of her uncle, who was post master of New York State. Among the leading personalities she met was the late Robert Kennedy.
Jo Keating finds that most of her time is occupied with school work. Her outside interests are reading and the theatre.
