NEWCREST LIHIR SPONSORS STUDENTS

Newcrest Mining Lihir has sponsored five Lihirian students this year for high school studies at the Lihir International School (LIS) as part of its continued investment in Lihir, Namatanai district, New Ireland province. These students are in the second batch of sponsored Lihirian students attending LIS under Newcrest Lihir’s School to Mine High School Scholarship program. The sponsorship now brings the number of sponsored Lihirian students at LIS to 10, with mostly girls. Hellen Kiapron, Madlyne Ratoh, Evelyn Lamam, Mary Arau and Jonathan Kambek are proud recipients of the scholarship. They are former grade eight students of Samo, Urban, Palie, Malie and Lakuplien primary schools in the Nimamar Local Level Government. Newcrest initially rolled out this scholarship program last year to provide an international-standard education to high performing local students in government schools, whose selection are based on their national grade eight exam results. “As a business, we are proud that our scholarship program is creating an opportunity for young high-performing local Lihirians to succeed further in their education. This is a significant step in developing the human resource of Lihir and New Ireland province,” said Newcrest Mining Lihir’s Human Resource Manager Alex Rogea. “The increase in high-performing female students across schools in Lihir is also encouraging; it shows that more local girls are becoming serious about their education. Essentially, this complements Newcrest’s focus on promoting diversity and inclusion in our workplaces, homes, and communities,” he added. Pious Ausur and Mary Arau said the scholarship program has given their daughter, Mary Arau, an excellent opportunity to excel and meet international education standards. “The program is also an incentive; many Lihirian parents are now encouraging and supporting their children to perform well in local schools, so that they can qualify for the scholarship program,” said Mr Ausur. Joe Lamam and Rose Kuninie said their daughter, Evelyn Lamam, is an inspiration to her siblings. They said their daughter’s study habits has greatly influenced her siblings to study more, describing it as ‘positive’ for their family and their local community at Lisel. Lawrence Kambek and Elizabeth Pulemum from Kanan, Matakues, are thankful that the scholarship program eased their financial struggle for their son’s school fees. Their son, Jonathan Kambek, is the first child from Kanan community to attend LIS through the scholarship program. Another parent, Samson Kiapron, said the scholarship program has given his daughter a new experience. “I am enjoying my studies, and I appreciate that my teachers are helpful and approachable,” said young Hellen Kiapron. Furthermore, scholarship recipient Madlyn Ratoh has wowed her family with her performance since she started her year nine studies at LIS. “We are happy that my sister is learning a lot and learning fast too. We thank Newcrest for providing this opportunity for the next generation of Lihirians. Though the program is new, it is the first step to a world of opportunities,” said Madlyn Ratoh’s elder sibling, Jennifer Gerard.

PM MARAPE: PNG CONTINUES TO BENEFIT FROM WORK OF LATE SIR MEKERE

Prime Minister Hon. James Marape says Papua New Guinea continues to benefit from the reforms set in place by former Prime Minister, the late Sir Mekere Morauta. He said this in Parliament on Tuesday (April 20th 2021) when paying his respects to Sir Mekere, who passed away last December, and was buried at Independence Hill in January. PM Marape said monumental among Sir Mekere’s achievements were reforms in the country’s financial institutions and State-owned enterprises. “Sir Mekere served as our country’s sixth Prime Minister,” PM Marape said. “He was, before politics, a very-distinguished public servant. “He stands among giants of our country. “Though he was Prime Minister for three short years, the nation stands to benefit from some of the reforms he put in place during those three short years from 1999 to 2002. “I stand here today, not just as Prime Minister representing the country, but also on behalf of my children and wife, on behalf of my people of Pori and Tari, to pay respect in this first instance to the late Sir Mekere Morauta. “We respect him for his work and contribution to the country. “May his memory guide us into the future.” PM Marape also welcomed Kandep MP Hon. Don Polye and Bougainville Regional MP Hon. Peter Tsiamalili Jr to Parliament,

APTC AND USP ADVANCE COLLABORATION FOR PACIFIC SKILLS DEVELOPMENT

A new partnership between The University of the South Pacific (USP) and the Australia Pacific Training Coalition (APTC) will enable the two institutions to work collaboratively for quality Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) delivery and better employment outcomes for Pacific people. Australia supports the work of USP as a key regional training centre for skills in the Pacific and the virtual signing yesterday reaffirms the longstanding partnership between USP and APTC, building on previous agreements signed in 2014 and 2018 respectively. Over the years, the USP-APTC partnership has resulted in several key outcomes, including the establishment of a joint training facility, the Pacific Fusion Restaurant in 2014, and the coordination of the inaugural Pacific Skills Summit in 2019. Under this new agreement, APTC and USP through Pacific TAFE will further support Pacific Island citizens' skills training needs for labour market demands, particularly for recovery from the COVID19 pandemic. The partnership focuses on key thematic areas, including collaborative approaches for training delivery, professional development opportunities, strengthening partnership governance and identifying regional priorities for better coordination. Acting Vice-Chancellor and President of USP, Dr Giulio Paunga, said, “USP has a well-established relationship with Australia and with APTC through Pacific TAFE. TVET is significant and well recognised for the social and economic development of our Pacific Island countries and I am very pleased that USP and APTC will be working together to help embed TVET in regional and national systems for long-term sustainability.” Interim CEO of APTC, Janelle Chapman, said the increased engagement between the two institutions will help better address the region's need for training and skills development. "The partnership offers an excellent opportunity to collaborate towards ensuring Pacific people are supported with skills they need for employment, both now and into the future," she added. Australian High Commissioner to Fiji, John Feakes, said Australia is pleased to invest in technical and vocational skills in the Pacific as part of its economic recovery efforts following COVID-19. “Australia is a longstanding educational partner in the Pacific and we’re pleased to be supporting Pacific peoples to build these skills and prepare the region for economic recovery. The unique contributions of these two institutions is crucial to the overall success of this partnership,” he said. As Australia's flagship TVET investment in the Pacific, APTC has trained more than 16,000 Pacific women and men since its commencement in 2007.

PNG LNG ANNOUNCES RENEWAL OF PNG KUMULS SPONSORSHIP

The PNG LNG Project, operated by ExxonMobil PNG, announced the renewal of its sponsorship of the PNG Kumuls Rugby League team and its domestic programs through a virtual signing ceremony in Port Moresby today. EMPNG's sponsorship is a three year initiative that enables the PNG LNG Project to retain the Naming Rights of our national team, the PNG LNG Kumuls. The PNG LNG Project and ExxonMobil PNG started sponsoring the Kumuls team in 201 3 to aid the development of rugby league in the country. The company is proud to see the team succeed in its various international competitions over the years and looks forward to the International Rugby League games starting in June leading up to the World Cup at the end of the year. “We share the vision of the PNG Rugby Football League and national government to support and develop the sporting code of rugby in PNG, and to see our national team, the PNG LNG Kumuls, succeed and promote even higher standards for the game in PNG,” said ExxonMobil PNG's Executive Director Production, Keith Killian. “We value our partnership with the PNG RFL because we are two organisations that are committed to sharing our values of leadership, teamwork, respect, personal integrity and excellence. “Rugby League is only one aspect our support for this great nation. The PNG LNG Project is delivering sustainable, long-term benefits for all project stakeholders, contributing to economic growth and strengthening the resilience of communities across Papua New Guinea,” Killian said. PNGRFL Chairman Sandis Tsaka welcomed the continued partnership with PNG LNG and Exxon Mobil. “This year all international fixtures look promising and are on track to commence in June leading up to the greatest rugby league showdown, the World Cup at the end of the year,” Tsaka said. He said the tentative schedule for the PNG LNG Kumuls will see a Pacífic Test against Fiji in June in Port Moresby and the PM X1 1 1 fixture against Australia in September also in Port Moresby. “These schedules are being closely monitored in line with the pandemic protocols and travel restrictions,” Tsaka said. The Chairman added that as part of its Naming Rights Sponsorship, PNG LNG has agreed to not only support the PNG LNG Kumuls Test Team but also the technical development and ‘Kids to Kumuls’ domestic programs. “Since 2013, PNG LNG has not only backed our National team, they have been supportive in the development of coaches, referees and juniors from the grassroots, National Schools Rugby League Competitions, all affiliated leagues throughout the country and hosting the annual Senior Mens, Senior Womens and Under 20 Mens National Championships,”Tsaka said. “We plan to have these programs started soon pending approval from the Pandemic Controller's Office and PNG Sports Foundation following the success of the Digicel Cup competition in 2020. And play our part together in promoting important messages and awareness on this global pandemic” Caption: (Left-Right) ExxonMobil PNG’s Executive Director Production, Keith Killian and ExxonMobil PNG’s Executive General Manager External Relations, Hitesh Lal.

PUARA JNR RACING CLOCK TO CLAIM HISTORY

SP PNG Hunters hooker Wartovo Puara Jnr will work as hard as he can to overcome an ankle injury and claim Hunters’ history in the Intrust Super Cup Anzac Day showdown with Burleigh Bears at Pizzey Park on Sunday. Puara has been named in the Hunters’ team to play for the Kokoda Cup – which is up for grabs each year when PNG and the Bears meet in late April. This match falls on Anzac Day and the Hunters hope that is enough time for Puara to recover from an ankle injury suffered in last Saturday’s impressive 32-12 win over the Sunshine Coast Falcons. If Puara can recover, the foundation Hunters player will break the team’s Intrust Super Cup games record by recording his 115th appearance – one more than 2017 premiership teammate Adex Wera. In the Kokoda Cup clash in 2017, Wera and Puara combined to score the first five tries when the Hunters crunched the Bears 42-6 at Pizzey Park. Puara’s Hunters career stalled on 110 games when he left to play for English championship club Barrow Raiders in 2019. Wera, who has since retired, overtook Puara’s record before Puara returned to the Hunters after 33 games for Barrow when COVID-19 restrictions hit England. “As an original Hunter and our hooker, Wartovo is naturally an important member of our squad who leads from the front and it would be a great honour and significant step in the Hunters’ short history to reclaim the record,” coach Matt Church said. “He is a great personality among the group and he provides a lot of energy, and has a lot of experience, so we will give him every chance to play. “Fortunately, it is not a major injury so if he is sidelined we don’t expect it to be for long.” Puara is one of three players in the current squad at the Hunters’ Runaway Bay base who played in the 2017 grand final victory against the Falcons. The others are Watson Boas and the injured Enock Maki. Hunters vice-captain Keven Appo returns from a two-match suspension this weekend to take his place in the second row, with Emmanuel Waine dropping back to the bench. The Hunters have been the surprise packet of the early season with three victories from the first four rounds. They sit in third place on the ladder. They take on the reigning premiers who have had mixed results in 2021, with only one victory, but the Bears were extremely physical in the dour Rivalry Round derby against Tweed Seagulls last Saturday.
