Despite losing their science lab in a fire earlier this year, Good Shepherd Lutheran Secondary School in Madang has not faltered in educating their students. During the early morning hours of Friday May, 17th, 2024, the school’s science lab was engulfed in flames destroying many crucial resources needed for science lessons. However, principal for Good Shepherd, Ben Tamilong stated that with the assistance of other schools in the province, Good Shepherd was able to help its students prepare for their upcoming exams. “We were able to conduct our practical science exams with the help of our sister schools, especially Tusbab Secondary.” “Tusbab lent us their apparatus which enabled our students to have their practical activities.” In regards to their science lab building, Tamilong said the Madang District Development Authority (DDA), promised assistance, however the rebuilding has not yet occurred due to circumstances beyond their control. He has, however, received assurance from the DDA that the lab reconstruction will proceed once matters have been resolved. In the meantime, the school will use GTFS support and also financial contributions to purchase much-needed equipment for the lab.
