UPNG WNBSA BACKGROUND INFORMATION

 UPNG West New Britain Students Association is a group formed by the former students with the purpose of uniting the students of West New Britain who are here to study for these four years.

It was started in the early 2000s and died out due to lack of leadership quality. It was then re-established in 2019 by the former president Mr. Isaiah Amba, with his leadership he helped the student seeking assistance from the governor’s office and brought students together.

After his term served as a president, came along some good leaders who bring good things back to the province in exchange of the funds they got from the provincial government.

Limited timing and hosting the major fundraising dance has already exhausted their funds. The rehearsal are going on at the Forth Banner and the students who are interested in participating are all practicing there. It’s more like a contemporary type of dance, they will dance without kundu drums. This type of dance is easy and doesn’t require so many things like traditional bilas, kundu drums because here in the city there are not enough traditional attires.
