In the midst of having its Grade 12s sit for exams, Passam National High School is also having a fundraising dinner next month, to raise money for the school’s infrastructure maintenance. The school with its history of ups and downs has risen above its adversities and is striving to maintain its good name. The fundraising committee of Passam National High told PNG HAUSBUNG about their distraught towards the current state of the school. “This fundraising dinner was started with the intention of raising funds to help our school with building maintenance.” “Many of our students who graduated became noteworthy individuals whether it is in politics, education or health; some have gone overseas to study." "We’ve produced top-performing students over the years and yet the facilities we have are in bad state.” The school has had its fair share of troubles in the past with its temporary closure in 2011, disputes with locals and issues with regionalism. However, the school reopened in 2014 and has regained its reputation as a school of excellence. The fundraising dinner will be held at the Golden Bowl Restaurant, Port Moresby on the 11th of November with individual tickets – K300 and Tables of ten – K3000 from 6pm till late.
