Boroko has Double-First School
p. 33 · Read in the full issue
A building scheduled to start at the Port Moresby suburb o) Boroko next month will be a double-first. It will be the first secondary school the Territory has ever had; and it will be the first building made of stabilised earth bricks in a land where fibro is king of building materials..
The bricks will be made by native prisoners at Bomana Gaol.
The school will cover an area of 26 acres, when completed, and will contain, as well as regular classrooms, science, domestic science, gymnasium and workshop blocks.
The school was to have been ready for the next year. We cannot see it happening; so just as well Minister Hasluck changed his mind about paying those school subsidies for children attending Australian secondary establishments.
