Students of La Salle Technical Secondary School in NCD are now equipped to be digitally inclusive, thanks to the BSP Financial Group Limited Corporate team who recently came to the school’s assistance.
Students used refurbished computers donated about ten years ago in a computer lab that needed a facelift and had been looking for help for the previous three years.
Through its annual Community Project Initiatives, BSP had its Corporate Banking team refurbish the school’s computer lab countertops while also assisting the school in purchasing (6) new computer sets equipped with UPS and basic software such as Microsoft Office Suite and Antivirus.
BSP Corporate GM Peter Beswick, his team, and their families spent two weekends assisting with lab renovations prior to the project’s handover on Friday, March 8, 2024.
“While we stand as a corporate organization, each of our staff is a part of a community that is why these community projects are conducted across all our branches in PNG, including the pacific markets where we operate in.”
The principal of La Salle Technical Secondary School, Br Antony Pancras, stated that the school offers TVET courses, one of which is IT, and that this project will benefit the IT students.
“They now have the advantage of using the new PCs with updated software, compared to the refurbished ones they were using were very slow.”
In expressing gratitude on behalf of his staff and students, he stated that BSP has previously supported the Lasallian Family.
While serving as Principal of De La Salle Secondary School in Bomana two years ago, BSP also delivered the e-library, which benefited both the students and the school greatly.
“BSP’s support is greatly appreciated by the school community and the Lasallian family in PNG as a whole, as BSP is not only assisting just students, but shaping PNG’s future leaders.”
