From the Deputy Principal (STM)

Our school Principal Mr Neville and Deputy-Principal Ms Langusch return from camp today with the Year 5/6 and our two teachers. We look forward to welcoming them back and are excited to hear about their experiences and adventures on their camp trip to Kavieng in next week's feature.

Our Work Ready Program continued this week with trainees entering their second week. The students are progressing well and are very eager to learn. This week the trainees went for a visit to the LTTC, thank you to Jason Manning and his team for showing our trainees around and sharing information and answering questions on a range of training opportunities available on completion of the Work Ready Program. Today I have again included some Trainee Profiles in this toksave.

National Exam Preparation Classes are taking place each weekend at STMC throughout this term to ensure the very best opportunity for our students to succeed in these very important exams. It is important students attend all of these lessons with their learning materials each week.

Our FODE students and Elementary Teachers from across Lihir continue to work on their distance education with the support of our STMC Staff.

Please note the Kisim Save Library is open for use by all Newcrest Employees and Townsite Residents. Please email SchoolToMineCampus@newcrest.com.au to book a time to come. 

Regards, 

Mr. Kevin Collins.

Thank you to Ms Tukata and the Year 1/2 class for their Tok Pisin Assembly!
