MT SION CENTRE FOR THE BLIND

Mount Sion Centre for the Blind and Disabled Persons is a Catholic run educational institution for the handicapped, especially the deaf and blind. It is here that they are taught the basic techniques of effective communication, using sign language and reading and typing in Braille. With these skills, they are able to communicate confidently with their kind and to a wider audience.

Located along the Okuk Highway (one of Papua New Guinea's National Highways) and a 20 minute drive out of Goroka Town towards Kainantu, the Mt Sion Centre is nestled in a serene and peaceful landscape that is an ideal learning environment.

Being a boarding school, this allows the blind and deaf from across the country to have access to this well-renowned school, forging better communication amongst the deaf and blind community and their society.

With specially dedicated staff and administration, this is truly a conducive learning environment and a "home away from home" for these special people.
