Empowering the Next Generation: Senisim PNG Programme Launches at De La Salle Secondary School
In a commendable initiative aimed at nurturing future leaders, 10th-grade students from De La Salle Secondary School in Port Moresby eagerly kicked off the Senisim PNG programme. This innovative partnership between the Education Department and the PNG Tribal Foundation promises to shape young minds and instill strong values across the nation.
This year, 266 bright students represent the first cohort of over 1,000 participants from grades nine to 12 who will benefit from this transformative program. At the heart of Senisim PNG is a focus on good values and servant leadership, principles that are more crucial than ever as our society strives for growth and cohesion. Spearheaded by the Maxwell Leadership Foundation, the programme is set to lay the groundwork for meaningful discussions and activities that resonate strongly with the youths of today.
Commencing this week, the Senisim PNG programme will guide students through an 11-week journey filled with values-based training, interactive group sessions, and practical exercises designed to inspire positive changes in their attitudes and behaviors. The anticipation is palpable among students and faculty alike, with the school’s administration expressing great enthusiasm for what lies ahead.
Manasseh Davey, the national coordinator for education at Senisim Pasin, shared his excitement about this collaboration. “We’re thrilled to see De La Salle join us on this incredible journey,” he said, emphasizing the significance of such programs in molding responsible citizens.
Allan Jim, first secretary of the Education Department’s guidance and counselling division for the Highlands and New Guinea Islands, echoed this sentiment, highlighting the necessity of reinforcing good morals and values in schools and homes alike. “Addressing behaviors and attitudes among students is vital,” he remarked, acknowledging that positive change begins with education and community involvement.
De La Salle Secondary School is proud to be the fourth institution to partner with the PNG Tribal Foundation, and there are hopes for many more to come. This initiative is not just about training young people; it’s about forging a brighter future where respect, integrity, and leadership thrive.
As we look to the future, programs like Senisim PNG may very well be the key to nurturing a generation that is not only academically equipped but also deeply rooted in strong moral values and community spirit.
