SEIGU DAY HIGH ASKS FOR RELOCATION

NO ROOM FOR NEW CLASSROOMS

THE newly-established Seigu Day High School does not have enough land area for further infrastructure developments.

This has prompted the school's board to call on the Eastern Highlands Provincial Government to relocate the school to another location.

The four-year-old institution is located with the premises of Seigu Primary School on the south eastern fringes of Goroka town.

Board chairman Tom Amero said that SDHS “is sandwiched between the existing Seigu Primary School and the Seigu Elementary School” with insufficient land area for infrastructure developments of new classrooms, staff houses and a sports field.

SDHS was established in 2017 to enroll grade nine students from Siokei, West Goroka, Gama, North Goroka, Okiufa and Faniyufa primary schools.

The school has so far passed out four batches of grade 10 students to Asaroka, Goroka and Aiyura secondary schools to do grade 11.

SDHS has enrolled 180 grade nines this school year from feeder schools while 416 students are doing grade ten.

The school has 18 teachers and is governed by a  board headed by Tom Amero.

Principal Ubize Notofo ensures that SDHS operates smoothly despite limited land area and crowded classrooms.

Mr Notofo is ably assisted by his deputy, Shadrick Pipike, and the Senior Subject Master Alex Robin.

The institution received a grant of K200,000 from the Eastern Highlands Provincial Government in 2019 and converted it into a double classroom.
