When did the Sogeri School start?
Sogeri National High School holds a special place in the education history of PNG. The school began in 1944 when commander of ANGAU (Australia New Guinea Administrative Unit) Major General Basil Morris decided to set up a central school for teaching natives various trades on Sogeri plateau outside Port Moresby. Established at the former site of the 113 Australian Convalescent Depot, the school was blessed with mild climate and green environment that was a stark contrast to the hot and dusty Port Moresby only kilometers away.
