The International Training Institute (ITI) Celebrates 16th Anniversary Founders Day at the Taurama Aquatic Center on Friday 30th August in Port Moresby. The ITI Founders Day represents a special day to honor and commemorate the Late ITI Co-Founder Professor Sentheyval Thuraiappah, acknowledging and embracing his commitment to creating opportunity in the academic welfare of underprivileged youth since Papua New Guinea’s Independence. The Founders Day is a public holiday to all ITI establishments around the nation, and also acts as a platform to acknowledge other deceased ITI members, students or staff to be honored and respected. The Founders Day was also a fun day with competitive fun games with the school staff competing with students, along with presentations and entertainment for the enjoyment of the staff and the student body. ITI Assistant Manager and member of the Founders Day Committee, Mary Kamasunga told PNG HAUSBUNG that the day represents a day to share sorrow but translated through positive activities for students and staff to interact and openly communicate in a fun and enjoyable space. Furthermore, she emphasized that it's a fun space for socializing between the students and staff, especially for the new students which can help break barriers between them and other students and teachers. With the teams divided through their courses including the Staff, the event saw Basketball, Volleyball and Dart as the major games due to the space limit. Students also performed songs and dances during lunch. The entire day was a full house with students having fun and making memories with their peers and teachers.
