PNGAA Congratulates Year 11 Scholarship holders

The PNGAA is delighted to hear the results from the nine students it supported again last year.
PNGAA congratulates all six students from Anguganak High School who have worked diligently and been accepted into Year 11, with three from Oksapmin High who are moving on to Year 10.

We especially congratulate Sheppelle Hapika who has had a fantastic result and been accepted into Year 11 at Passam National School of Excellence, which is one of the top Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) schools in Papua New Guinea. It is one of six government run national high schools in PNG and is a coeducational school for Years 11 and 12, taking boarders and day students, located about 20km south of Wewak and a 10 hour drive from Anguganak. Travel is challenging with the roads and cost of diesel about PGK30/AUD12 per litre. 

Five other students from Anguganak – Augustine Wulai, Euthanneshia Meibo, Macquardah Anpan, Nemantu Haimowi and Railly Aliawani will move to Green River High School, near Vanimo.

The students have all been studying English, Maths, Science, Social Science, Personal Development, Business Studies and Agriculture.
PNGAA is pleased to support these students and hear about their continuing progress.

Support from PNGAA members and friends is also welcome to assist this special PNGAA Scholarship program. If you would like to help, please use the red ‘donations’ button on this website home page, or contact the treasurer (treasurer@pngaa.net)
The fees for the Year 11 students have more than trebled from PGK500 in Year 10 to PGK1600 in Year 11.
The three students from Oksapmin High School are continuing on to Year 10. Their fees have doubled from PGK1000 to PGK2000 each.

The National Education Board sets the school fee at the opening of the academic year, and then the parental contributions, which PNGAA pays together with books, are known.  This varies from school to school.  100% of donations to PNGAA for school fees goes to pay these school fees.

All best wishes to the students for 2025!
