Our Community!

Our school serves those people of West New Britain who want a high quality, private education for their children. We are the only private Secondary School in the province offering a dual International and PNG curriculum.

The majority of our students' parents work for NBPOL (New Britain Palm Oil Ltd) which has its headquarters based in Mosa. We also have a large number of parents who own or manage businesses in and around the Kimbe township.

Kimbe has a wide diversity of cultures from all around PNG. This is due to the fact that Palm Oil provides a strong economic base for the province and therefore people come from other parts of PNG to find work here.

The expatriate population is made up mainly of British and Australians and the occasional Kiwi. There is a growing Asian population largely based around businesses in Kimbe township.

Prior to the introduction and subsequent strong growth of Oil Palm, most plantations grew Coconut palms. Other crops grown here include cocoa and vanilla.

West New Britain abounds in water sports, with resorts providing opportunities for diving, snorkeling and fishing. Kimbe Bay is reputed to have greater marine diversity than that found in the Great Barrier Reef!

The Kimbe International School community reflects the rich cultural diversity of West New Britain.
