THREE senior high schools located on Guadalcanal have received a motor bikes on Monday.
Betikama Adventist College, St. Joseph Tenaru, and Selwyn College, under the Guadalcanal Provincial Education Department were the lucky recipients.
During the handover ceremony on Monday afternoon, the Minister for Education and Human Resources, Hon. John Bosti, encouraged the recipients to take pride in the motorbikes and use them wisely for administrative and other purposes.
The Minister emphasized that the motorbikes are more than just a donation; they represent the Guadalcanal Provincial Education Department’s ongoing commitment to supporting senior schools.
He stated that, with these small tokens, the recipient schools would be able to maximize their use.
Although he was the only recipient present during the brief ceremony, the Principal of Betikama Adventist College, Mr. Beven Tutuo, assured the Minister that the motorbike would be used for its intended purpose.
He explained that, for Betikama Adventist College, the motorbike would be used for administrative errands, as well as for monitoring the school farm to prevent theft and trespassing by those who often harvest crops without permission.
It is understood that the motorbikes for the other two schools will be delivered later.
Guadalcanal Provincial Government received the Mernodi Motorbikes from Guangdong Province, China, in June 2023.
As schools nationwide reopen for the academic year starting this week, the Minister of Education is hopeful that these motorbikes will help support the three schools in their administrative tasks.
