austraLasia #2839 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. _________________
