2022 academic year

Head teacher, Norman Apul said the school rules were clearly stated in the forms and by signing them, the 740 students have agreed that if they are found to be in breach of a rule, they can be dismissed.

The new management’s tough stance follows the burning down of school infrastructure by intoxicated students in November last year.

“We already executed our decision by suspending and terminating two students already,” he stated.

“Because we don’t want the same incident to happen, we are tough on discipline, and we’re all speaking the same language.

Reverend Koloma Makewin encouraged students and staff of the University of Papua New Guinea to have faith in God.

“If God is intending that you become exceptional, I encourage you not just to add up to the numbers, but to make a difference,” said Reverend Koloma.

He also challenged the students that if they are to strive for academic excellence, they must also strive for moral excellence.

The Reverend also encouraged the students to attend fellowship and faith organizations where the Bible and the Word of God is preached.
