Conference

What a week!! Very early rise, late to bed in the early morning. Lots of late night disscussions. Lots of sitting and concentrating on the Bislama discussions. The Conference is in full support of the direction that Londua is heading. Some financial issues were discussed and prayer is needed. I am sure of that support from the members of the Vanuatu Churches of Christ. What about you! The Vila support group are investigating curriculum and modules that will fit in with the Government policy for Londua to become the Penama Provincial Technical College. The Vila support group are 100% behind Londua Technical College and will be an invaluable help. Londua will receive students from Year 8, Year 10 and the Rural Training Centers and after training will feed them into the Vanuatu Institute of Technology in Vila and the Vanuatu Agriculture College in Santo. Londua has a good reputation with the VIT. 14 students from 2007 and the 11 students from 2006 were all accepted into the Institute and have impressed the teachers. Had 3 meetings with the principal and some school council representatives and have some positive outcomes at the school. A motion was put to the Conference by the School Council Chairman and passed unanimously that the School Council should be an equal representation from all Island Conference regions. Nomination forms to go out soon for Londua Technical College principal starting 2009. Was stuck on Maewo for 3 days and nearly missed the flight back to Brisbane.
