Don Bosco PNG-SI:  Principals’ Meeting 2011

PORT MORESBY: 12 April 2011 -- Principals of all Don Bosco Schools in Papua New Guinea (PNG) and Solomon Islands (SI) have held the first of the two annual principals' meetings at Emmaus Haus, East Boroko (PNG). The event took place towards the end of March.
    Six Principals were present, from Don Bosco Technical Insititute Boroko, (PNG), Don Bosco Technical School Gabutu (PNG), Don Bosco Araimiri Kerema (PNG), Don Bosco Tech, Kumgi (PNG) where the Principal is Sr. Leena John, SCSA, Don Bosco Rural Training Centre, Tetere (SI), Don Bosco Technical Institute, Henderson (SI) where the principal is Ms. Camari Bainivalu, while Mr. Bobby Delfin represented Fr. Clifford Morrais, SDB, Vunabosco Agro-Tech, Kokopo (PNG).
    The two-day gathering was an occasion for in-service and organizational meetings.  On Day 1, Mr. Noel Guillermo updated the principals on the National Qualification Framework (NQF), its implications and applications in our various technical school settings.  While Mr. Samson Wangihomie, a Senior Secondary Inspector (PNG) conducted a participative session on school administration and monitoring.  With his expertise, he shared concrete guidelines made interesting by his experience.  A dinner and moments of bonding wrapped up the first day.
    The second day was spent for domestic issues.  Each principal gave a brief report on their respective schools.  Then, they discussed the various documents of the PNG-SI Delegation pertaining to schools.  Resolutions were formulated as proposals for action which will be forwarded to the Delegation Council for deliberation and approval.
    The two-day encounter was truly enriched by the enthusiasm of the principals as expressed in their dedication and interest to collaborate and achieve a common goal:  quality education for our young people in the spirit of Don Bosco.
The second meeting for the year is scheduled in the month of August.
