Children below the age of 10 are unpredictable and the usual time span that govern their interest towards a particular program or gathering often deteriorates within 45 minutes, which may then led to unnecessary disturbance and frustrating way of behaving after that time span.
This was not from researching medical experts, but from a little tireless organizing committee who designed a breath taking and less than 45 minutes graduation ceremony for 26 elementary 2 children recently at a first ever established English elementary school at Bialla, West New Britain Province.
It was a morning of laughs amid tears and hugs complimented with unexpected presents from those little kids to their two only teachers who school authorities confirmed were never talking pay packets but gave all they have including their hearts to those little kids since the schools establishment two years ago.
Many of the kids attending the school came from around the vicinity of the little Bialla town which set the background that most of the graduating students were babies five to six years ago and were known by every home including everyone on the streets within the vicinity.
Parents and family members of the graduating children clapped and called names of those little kids who marched with unwavering smiles in the comfort of the audience that they knew by heart to receive their yellow envelopes containing their certificates.
School Co-ordination Peter Willie who was quite emotional during the short graduation said the day was a dream came true in the light of the usual critics and questions regarding the legality of the school which he said are just gravels on the path to allow the newly started school to step on and leap forward.
Mr. Willie who was also an instrumental individual behind the running of the English elementary said necessary prerequisites have been followed as required by laws and the school is expected to be formally registered next year.
However, he said approval had been given to the school board and those first graduates are eligible to be enrolled at any lower primary school anywhere.
