Today the school has a roll of 255 students and 33 staff including teachers.
Founding member Jessie Sword was “humbled and proud” to address the school on behalf of the many parents and sponsors who have helped make the school what it is today.
“We all had a dream.
“I think a lot of people in government thought we were crazy, but we had a dream and the more they said we couldn’t do it that made us more determined to get out there and make it happen.”
Sword acknowledged the longest serving teacher, Saireni Poila for her 23 years of service to the school, and the late Lionel Brown and Eric Ponia who steered the Ministry of Education 30 years ago.
School principal Carly Ave thanked the teachers, parents and students as well as former board members and founders for attending the special occasion yesterday.
