Fails WP:GNG. WP:BEFORE does not bring up sufficient reliable, independent, in-depth sources. The Banner talk 12:45, 12 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Education, Schools,  and Oceania. Shellwood (talk) 12:50, 12 June 2022 (UTC)

Keep: It meets the criteria for inclusion in the encyclopedia, including WP:GNG. -- Ham105 (talk) 17:13, 12 June 2022 (UTC)
 * From WP:WPSCHOOLS/AG ... In practice, articles on high/secondary schools and school districts are usually kept, as they are almost always found to be notable, unless their existence cannot be verified in order to stop hoaxes ... The subject of this article is one of a handful of international-standard senior secondary schools in PNG (where the literacy rate is below 62% for 9 million people), and attended by some notable people/families in the country.
 * But regardless of the above, there are hundreds of independent secondary sources spanning 60 years easily found. WP:GNG is not an issue.
 * This includes WP:SIGCOV in the country's major national newspaper about an affirmitive action case on fees at the school that was taken to the Supreme Court of Papua New Guinea in 1976.
 * Another 5 minute search yields another 10 various sources: and I can't be bothered pasting further.
 * While I won't be updating the article page myself any time soon, it is suitable for a stand-alone article.
 * Keep for the reasons given in the last deletion discussion at Articles for deletion/Port Moresby International High School. This school is very important in the expat community of Port Moresby. --Bduke (talk) 00:43, 16 June 2022 (UTC)
 * That last AfD used mainly the argument that secondary schools are automatically notable because there are secondary schools. But that argument is invalid since a RFC in 2017. The Banner  talk 12:29, 16 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Comment There's a bunch of really good self-published info that could be useful for further research at the school's diamond jubilee page. As far as search, it was originally Port Moresby High School, and (according to facebook) they currently use the acronym POMIS, rather than PMIS as the article states.
