Honouring Remembrance and Respect Across Cultures

Papua New Guinea National Remembrance Day – July 23

Each year on July 23, Papua New Guinea observes National Remembrance Day, a solemn occasion to honour the bravery and sacrifice of PNG soldiers who served in World War II and other conflicts. This day recognises the enduring legacy of those who made a stance for freedom and resilience, including the famed Fuzzy Wuzzy Angels who supported Australian troops along the Kokoda Track. It is a time for reflection, pride, and national unity.

Celebrating Cultural Respect and Wellbeing

Through embracing cultural diversity, we not only strengthen our community but nurture the wellbeing of every individual within it. Respecting the histories, identities, and traditions of all cultures builds safe spaces for dialogue, belonging, and understanding. When students and staff feel seen, heard, and valued for who they are, we cultivate a stronger, more inclusive learning environment. Together, we walk a path of mutual respect, compassion, and cultural humility.

MaPPs Group

We’re excited to introduce the newly formed MaPPs Team, which now includes Ms Marsh, Mr Aerenga and Ms Pearce.

With the ongoing support of Leadership Team, we are fully committed to strengthening and growing this important initiative.

Our first meeting with all MaPPs students will be held this Friday 1 August, during Second Break in B7.

Your voice, ideas, and input are valued as we shape the direction of MaPPs together.

We hope to see you all there.
