Young Officials of P-NG

Gain Their Diplomas

AT a formal ceremony in Sydney on December 6, the following 24 2-years’ students of the School of Pacific Administration (at St.

Georges Heights, Mosman) received their Diplomas. Most of them are Patrol Officers of the Papua-New Guinea Administration, who will re turn immediately to the Territories.

Many of them already have received their postings to the Districts.

In the absence of the Australian Minister for Territories (Mr.

Hasluck), the Diplomas were pre sented by Mr. W. J. Weeden (Director of the Commonwealth office of Education, and a member of the School Council), and the address (some portions of which will be pub lished here next month) was given by the Principal of the School, Mr.

C. R. Rowley. Mr. Rowley traced the history of the School, and pre sented some unusual angles on its work and responsibilities.
