STUDENTS attending Sacred Heart Catholic Primary School in Port Moresby will now have enough siting space after the school received fifty new desks from the NCDC this week. The new desks were presented to them on Tuesday by Governor Powes Parkop to allow the students to have a conducive learning environment. Governor Parkop encouraged the students to keep attending classes every day and not to worry about outside factors that will distract them from learning. “You will be successful and become professionals in the future if you concentrate on your studies now when you’re in school,” said Governor Parkop. The NCD Governor said the 50 desks presented to the school is to help improve the learning environment so that students are accommodated well in the classrooms and learn well. Sacred Heart Catholic Primary School Head Teacher Mr Pokatou Litau said the desks received will now help alleviate students’ sitting problem. “We have more than two thousand students and due to desks shortage some of them are forced to sit on the floor during classes,” Litau said. Board of Management (BOM) chairman Alphonse Aaron said that sitting problem is one of the many problems that the school is facing. “We still need few more classrooms for the students’ population and teachers’ houses to accommodate our teachers,” Aaron said. Meanwhile, the School Head Girl Cyrilla Tumba on behalf of the students thanked the NCD Governor for the initiative to distribute desks to their school. At the cost of K17, 000 Sacred Heart Catholic Primary School is the first school in NCD this year to receive the desks under the NCD Governor’s initiative to distribute desks to NCD schools. Governor Parkop said after the distribution of desks to primary schools he will look at other areas like students’ classrooms and teachers housing.
