By Tom Kathoa

The two year old Devare SDA High School in Tinputz, North Bougainville saw its first grade ten student’s graduate from the school this week.

More than eighty pioneer students both male and female passed out of the school after a two year stint at the school.

Their graduation was witnessed by several leaders including the Member for North Bougainville in the National Parliament and Minister for Higher Education, Hon Michael Ogio.

The graduates were presented with the school’s own grade ten certificates during the ceremony.

It was explained that the National Grade Ten School Certificates would be presented to them when they arrive in December.

Education Minister Ogio and other speakers challenged students to strive for the best while studying.

An educated population would result in a progressive and prosperous Papua New Guinea.
