Classroom paves the way for high school to transition

THE ground-breaking ceremony for a new K500,000 double classroom has set the path for Ramu Valley High School to become a secondary school in Usino Bundi, Madang, an official says.
The school’s principal Patrick Dion said that it was the administration and parents desire for the high school to become a secondary school next year.
However, Dion said the transition would not take place immediately because a few things like staff houses, students’ curriculum and other academic materials needed to be fixed first.
He said the school had received K120,000 Government subsidy this year and most of it had gone to printing worksheets, notes and assignments for students since they had limited text books.
He said the level-six school enrolled 400 students this year with three grade nine and three grade 10 classes with 11 teachers.
