Divine Word University (DWU)

The program started in June this year and is one of 10 programs under Newcrest Lihir’s ‘School to Mine’ program, aimed at enhancing the education sector in Lihir. Through this program, teachers in Lihir can upgrade their qualifications from a diploma to a bachelor in primary education. DWU is delivering the bachelor program at Lihir’s School to Mine Campus with the support of STM staff.

A very humbled Numoi described his success as an achievement that was not his alone but for everyone who stood by him and believed in him every step of the way; especially his family, colleagues and friends.

With a GPA of 3.54 out of 4.0, this was an accumulation of consistent high performance academically from the years 2016-2019 from his undergraduate studies in the Madang institution.

When asked on his secret, he said hard work, determination and knowing that you are not doing this for yourself ensured his high achievement. 

During the trip, the High Commissioner handed over new teaching mannequins to the Divine Word University (DWU) campus in Madang, funded under the Papua New Guinea-Australia Partnership’s Kina for Kina project in collaboration with the Divine Word University.

The new mannequins include adult, children and infant mannequins and will help students to learn Cardio-Pulmonary Resuscitation (CPR), expanding their basic first aid training that is important in ensuring survival of patients in emergencies.

Registration started on February 4^th.

All students are advised to make their way to the campus for registration. The registration is taking place at the St John Paul II Hall.

DWU Registrar at the Madang campus, Cecilia N’Drower, advises students to be at the registration venue only after completing their “on-registration” fee as specified in the correspondences sent to them.

N’Drower says the online registration system of DWU will automatically reject a student who has not completed any of the requirements.

Francis has been an administration assistant, supporting her predominantly male colleagues at DWU for almost five years. She faces significant challenges as a woman working in construction administration but is grateful for the support of her colleagues.

“I’m grateful for the support of the admin staff, they always stand up for me and help me. We started really small and now we have come so far over the years.”
