Students of Popondetta International School, joined by their parents and friends, started off their celebration with a vehicle convoy around town.
Though small, the 42nd Independence celebration was significant for the school, which falls under the International Education Agency (IEA).
As viewed by the Consulting Principal – Les Roai, IEA is officially the little sibling, being only 41 years old.
Roai, guest speaker at the event, highlighted that IEA’s history really started when self-government was established in PNG in 1973.
