By JOYCE TOHUI

A New Day High School in the Haku area, North Bougainville will open its doors for the first time when School begins on 7th of February.

This was revealed by the ABG Minister for Education, JOHN TABINAMAN.

He said that Ninety students were selected from the six primary schools within the Haku Constituency to occupy two grade 9 classes, with four teachers appointed to facilitate learning in the new high school.

Last Tuesday Minister Tabinaman visited the school to assess whether infrastructure was in place for student intakes this year and also see the physical site of the total land area of the high school.

He was convinced that the new infrastructure was ready to cater for Haku Day High School.

Most importantly Mr. Tabinaman was impressed with the size of land allocated for the high school by the landowners of that area.

He said a four-in-one classroom building and two teacher’s houses provided by the Tanamalo Primary School would cater for the first grade 9 intakes.

Mr. Tabinaman added little work is still needed on the current four-in-one classroom building to improve its condition.

He requested the people of Haku Constituency especially the communities who benefited from the high school to co-operate with the Education Division and complete the necessary preparation work to meet target date for 2011 classes.

The new Haku Day High School came as a request from the people of Haku Constituency during the first ABG and 2011 was earmarked for the commencement of the high school.

It is located within Tanamalo Primary School, a United Church Agency School.
