Vanimo International School is located within the township of Vanimo and is about 10m away from the white beaches of Sandaun. The land and building that the school operates in is owned by Vanimo Forest Products who have allowed the school to function without any charges.The school has the luxury of two tennis courts and a mini field which is just right for the number. The grounds are well maintained with several shade trees and flowers surrounding the school.

Students

Fifteen students out of the total enrolment are sponsored by Vanimo Forest Products annually as part of their contract agreement. About 88% of the students originate from Papua New Guinea. The grades range from Early Years to Grade 8.

Conclusion

The motto, ‘Educating for Change’ is what Vanimo International School aims to advocate within the stakeholders. We believe that helping the stakeholders understand the changing world will boost our efforts in educating the children in an isolated location such as Vanimo. It is envisaged that students who pass out of Vanimo International School will learn how to become productive members of their community. Vanimo International is gradually building reputable public relations with the initiation of our ‘computer club’ where people of all ages come and learn how to use a computer. Our upper primary students help with facilitating this club by being the ‘teachers’.
