OUR PROGRAMS
Smart Coaching Program basically complements the role of existing school teachers by providing enhancement and remedial program to assist and motivate learning to boost current curriculum. After the much talked about failing curriculum.
We encourage participating students to appreciate the coaching program and take it as a as a challenge to work extra harder for promising results. The birth of Smart Coaching Program is the fruit of increased student drop out in grade eight (8) as a result of unsolved negative issues in faced by teachers and students in their schools particularly in urban settings.
There are many young children leaving school at a very early and immature age which is about 12-15 years. The increased number of this group of citizens are building an army of negative influences for Papua New Guinea. It is for sure a task that is far too big to solve but the best we can do is a little of what we can do.

Smart Coaching is an outreach program for Fuzzy Wuzzy Memorial School. We have also other sister programs that are integrated with our program for the benefit of helping our communities.
In 2016, and 2017 during my volunteer service with SOCAY-Safe Our Children and Youth I have conducted this coaching program with the Flexible Open Distance Education – Students from SOCAY who took up this second chance pathway of education and the program helped many of the students. |
The program is conducted during school holidays and students register to attend. It is a non-profitable organisation because much of what we offer is basically service for a very low cost or nothing at all. The programs are run as optional 3 times in a year during school holidays that is in April, July and September.
Some of our success stories will be delivered to on our Facebook wall for viewing. So far the program has reached out to more than 200 students of which many have come and attended free because they had difficulties in paying.
Smart Coaching also networks with other program partners to effectively deliver other services outside our coaching for education purposes alone:
