Month: December 2025

On Saturday, 29th November, a group of male staff members lead by our Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer joined Paradise Private Hospital and other participants for their ‘Movember Walk’. An early morning group walk to raise awareness about men’s mental health issues and encourage physical activity like walking, to maintain a healthy lifestyle.

The team gathered as early as 5.30am at the Ela Beach basketball courts, the starting point. They then walked towards Ela Beach service station, took on the steep climb up lawes Road and down the other side toward Sir Hubert Murray Stadium, and then past the Naval base, and continued around Paga Hill ring road and back to the Ela Beach basketball courts to finish. The distance covered was about 7km in total.

The activity was a success in that our participants found it a meaningful one. Although they found the distance a bit challenging, the entire team powered through and successfully completed the route.

At SCAL, our success is not just about numbers or targets; it’s about the people we are helping, the lives we are touching and the futures we are building. When we look out for one another, support each other to overcome any challenges to our wellbeing and growth, and strive for excellence in everything we do, we can all go on to achieve great things and make a lasting contribution towards PNG’s growth and development.

We thank Paradise Private Hospital for organising the activity and allowing SCAL to show its support to raise more awareness on men’s mental health and wellbeing.
