Number 1

La Salle Technical Secondary School Hohola has made history by achieving the remarkable feat of coming first in the country for both the Grade 10 and Grade 12 National Examinations in 2025. This unprecedented accomplishment marks the first time a school has topped the nation in both levels simultaneously, highlighting the exceptional dedication and excellence within the entire school community. Following the success in 2024 when only Grade 10 achieved the highest honors, this year's dual triumph is a testament to the unwavering commitment of students, teachers, and staff alike.

This outstanding achievement is not merely a reflection of individual brilliance but a shining example of true teamwork and shared vision. The combined efforts of the Board of Governors, teaching and non-teaching staff, students, and parents have created an environment where hard work, resilience, and passion thrive. The leadership of Principal Br. Antony Samy Pancras has been instrumental in guiding and inspiring the school community to overcome challenges and reach this pinnacle of success.

Registered with the Department of Education PNG only in 2022, La Salle Technical Secondary School Hohola’s rapid rise to the top is nothing short of extraordinary. This achievement has garnered respect and admiration throughout Papua New Guinea, setting a high benchmark for academic excellence. As the entire nation celebrates this milestone, the school stands as a beacon of hope and motivation, inspiring others to pursue excellence with heart and dedication.

To every member of the La Salle family—teachers, staff, students, parents, and administrators—your hard work and perseverance have truly paid off. Your collective spirit has shown that with determination and teamwork, greatness is within reach. Congratulations on this historic achievement, and may your success continue to inspire generations to come.
