Her former employer, Coca Cola, made the position which she was occupying redundant, so she decided to go into tailoring and start up something for herself. She chose tailoring because there was market for clothes which was everybody’s basic need. “I saw a lot of second hand clothing that came into the nation and I didn’t like it.

She said she didn’t have any idea on how to sew, but she had the interest so once she left her job, she attended the sewing school Foundation for People for Community Development (FPDC). Her interest came through when she got her certificate. Miss Nenta said, “I operate from the house because rentals out there are really killing us but so far so good.

But they have been suppressed or pushed to the back but 2014 to 2015 has been some good years. I can see women coming out and showing what they can do best and I’m really excited,” said Miss Nenta.

The facility will be the first of its kind for the region. It will recreate a full size process plant with real live process systems, centralised control room, emergency protection systems and electrical distribution centre, to provide a real life scenario training and assessment fa- cility in a safe, controlled environment. The plant will be built and operated by Brisbane- based training organisation, Site Group International, which already operates a similar process plant in Myan- mar, and large immersive training facilities in the Philip- pines and Indonesia as well as throughout Australia. SPEI have contracted Site Group International (SGI) to Engineer, Procure, Construct and Commission (EPCC) a Live Process Plant Environment for training across the energy sector for PNG. The turnkey training plant will be developed on behalf of SPEI teamed with (NPCP) to utilise the services of SGI with the objective of creating long term sustainable employment opportunities for PNG nationals to partici- pate meaningfully and including the higher end employ- ment opportunities surrounding the oil and gas industries. This forms a key component of NPCP’s Kumul Petro- leum Academy which will be located at the Idubada site, a future support hub for Oil and Gas Projects in PNG. NPCP Managing Director Mr Wapu Sonk stated that the development of capability to create world class com- petencies in-country is a critical requirement for PNG. “NPCP has carried out investigations into the neces- sary infrastructure required to best develop and train a highly competent national workforce. “Having had the benefit of researching the necessary componentry’s NPCP is working with SPEI to develop a suite of necessary facilities that currently do not exist in this country,” Mr Sonk said. He also stated that this nationally driven Academy for Oil and Gas Training will include all levels of industry learning, focussing on nationalising the workforces for the PNG Oil and Gas sector but with a particular focus on higher end job opportunities. “NPCP, soon to be Kumul Petroleum Company will continue to lead in PNG as a major contributor to the country’s Oil and Gas industry and expects IOC’S, ex- plorers, developers and contractors in the industry will follow suit with their own commitment to national work- force development and meeting national content re- quirements,” Mr Sonk added. Commenting on the announcement, Site CEO and Managing Director Vern Wills stated “the relationships forged with the National Petroleum Company PNG to- gether with SPEI marks a milestone in the provision of Process Plant services via the Site Group International operation” “This agreement is the culmination of over 12 months work to develop a truly-unique service offering.” he said. The plant will take approximately eight months to complete, with an agreement in place for the provision of training services under ‘a manage and operate agree- ment’. Orion’s Country Manager Nick Smith says; SPEI is a Private Public Partnership (PPP) focused on industry training and is a first not only for Papua New Guinea but for the whole South Pacific area.

By Fr Paul Jennings

T this important time in the history of Catholic AEducation in Papua New Guinea, we want to do what the Constitution recommends and pay homage to our ancestors, the source of our strength. We want to look back over 140 years of Catholic education and to see the past 40 years in the light of a much longer history. It is common for educators today to be-little the first “mission schools” in the 1880’s as being focused mainly on conversion. Yet it was those first missionaries, and the first national teachers who worked together to write the dictionaries, grammars and stories of so many local languages. They worked to preserve language, First students in Tumleo Kindergarden school in 1905. Fr Jim Franks and Gary Roche in Alexishafen in 1988. which is the basis of preserving culture. As well as preserving languages by making them written languages, the first schools also decided that teaching and learning would happen with a combination of local language and English. When the Matane Committee, in 1986, looked at this history, that committee recommended that basic literacy be taught using both ples tok and English. Unfortunately the people who developed the education reforms in the 1990’s either did not read or did not understand the Matane Report. (A philosophy of education for Papua New Guinea).

Your Committee in October 1970 had its executive committee received numerous staff analyse these designs to find the most representations to either alter the suitable colours and symbols for a crest and Flag. They found the popular colours were gold, green and blue and the symbols – birds, drums, spears and stars. This information was passed to Mr. Holman, an artist with the Dept of Information and Extension Services, for him to design a crest and flag using these colours and symbols. The committee ran with Mr. Holman’s designs, a tricolor flag in green, gold and blue with Southern Cross and a white bird of paradise superimposed. The design was shown to the House of Assembly on 17 November 1970.

Paulus Arek told the House: The Committee will also seek the people’s views on a flag and a crest. The flag and crest do not represent the ideas of one single person but rather have been designed taking into account the overwhelmingly popular colours, designs and ideas submitted by the people to your Committee. Mr. Speaker, with your approval I would like to show members of the House of Assembly the flag and crest the Committee proposes to show to the people.
