CURRENT PROJECTS BY CLASS OF 2000

The Need & Partnership
Gordons Secondary’s classrooms have weathered years of underfunding, with peeling walls and fading spaces hindering student morale. Thanks to alumnus Vanessa Koia (Class N), a powerful solution is underway: Dulux PNG has generously donated all required paint. 

With the Deputy Headmaster ready to facilitate access, this project transforms empty goodwill into tangible change—but we now face a critical gap: skilled painters to bring color back to Kokofa’s heart.

Our Community-Sensitive Approach
Prioritizing safety and opportunity, we’ll focus exclusively on indoor painting while empowering Kokofa’s own students. The Deputy Headmaster has identified 10 academically committed but financially disadvantaged students who will be trained and paid fair pocket money (K100 each) to revitalize their learning environment. This isn’t just renovation—it’s dignity through work, teaching practical skills while helping students afford school necessities. Alumni sponsorship turns every brushstroke into a double victory: vibrant classrooms and student empowerment.

Your Role in This Transformation
With paint secured and students eager to contribute, we need K1,000 to fund all 10 student painters. Each K100 donation sponsors one youth, covering their wage, protective gear, and tools. Vanessa and the Deputy Headmaster will oversee quality and safety, ensuring every kina uplift both infrastructure and futures. 

Time is critical—we aim to complete painting before Term 3 begins. Step forward as a Student Sponsor today and be part of this legacy where compassion meets action.

The Gordons Secondary School (Kokofa) website serves as a dynamic digital hub designed to bridge communication gaps, preserve institutional legacy, and empower future growth. 

Its primary objectives are threefold:

First, to centralize critical information for students, staff, and parents—providing real-time updates on academics, events, and resources in a nation where infrastructure challenges often disrupt access.

Second, to reconnect and mobilize global alumni (spearheaded by the Class of 2000) through dedicated portals for networking, project funding, and mentorship—transforming nostalgia into actionable support for classrooms, libraries, and student welfare.

Third, to lay the foundation for scalable digital services—beginning with an integrated e-library system—that combat resource scarcity and ensure every Kokofa student thrives despite Papua New Guinea’s funding limitations.

Ultimately, this platform turns isolated efforts into collective impact, honoring Rex’s foundational sponsorship (securing our domain for 3 years) while building a self-sustaining ecosystem of pride and progress

1st Step is to centralized Collaboration with all Alumni and next STEP is to funnel it into the school

The Kokofa E-Library Project aims to revolutionize access to knowledge at Gordons Secondary by creating a hybrid digital-physical learning hub that overcomes PNG’s infrastructure challenges. Through curated e-books, offline-capable educational apps, and a modernized physical library space, we will ensure every student can access curriculum-aligned resources—anytime, anywhere—even with limited internet. 

Spearheaded by alumni Rex and Anthony (technical design) and Grace and Apa (grant strategy), this initiative directly combats textbook scarcity while preparing students for a digital world, turning Kokofa’s library into a beacon of 21st-century learning that scales beyond government funding limitations.

Key Objectives Embedded:

Þ Democratize Access: Offline-first tech for low-bandwidth realities

Þ Future-Proof Learning: Digital literacy + traditional resources

Þ Maximize Impact: Hybrid model (e-resources + physical book donations)

Þ Sustainable Model: Grant partnerships + alumni funding (min. K10,000)

Þ National Blueprint: Scalable solution for PNG schools

 The Kokofa Book Drive confronts Papua New Guinea’s textbook scarcity crisis by mobilizing alumni and partners to rebuild Gordons Secondary’s library—one book at a time. 

Coordinated by the Class of 2000 Committee, this urgent initiative targets 500+ curriculum-aligned books by December, prioritizing critical subjects like math, science, and literature to ensure every Kokofa student has tools to thrive. 

Alumni worldwide can contribute by donating new/used books at reunions (starting with the Class of 2000 gathering) or funding Secondary School Kits (K1,500–K4,500) through Buk Bilong Pikinini—with every kina raised from ticket sales and memorabilia directly converted into knowledge resources. This isn’t just charity; it’s strategic investment in PNG’s future leaders.
