PREFECTS' INDUCTIONS

At the beginning of each school year students and parents are always looking forward with excitement to the induction of their school’s student leaders or prefects. It is not only a happy occasion for the students who were selected to be prefects but also a proud moment for the parents witnessing the trust bestowed upon their sons and daughters. At the same time the teachers are excited too since the prefects will be their first line of support in managing the students’ behavior and the orderly conduct of all school’s activities. Fr Provincial led the St John’s College Induction mass and assisted by the school’s manager, Fr Lutoviko Manu sm and supported by Br Berenado Petero sm and Pastoral year student, Lesley Kinani sm.

On the same token, the Principal of ‘Api-fo’ou college, Fr ’Ekuasi Manu sm led their induction mass whereby the parents helped him in badging the prefects. The next week-end the prefects held their first leadership workshop in one of the parishes and supported by parents and past pupils of the college. Fr ‘Ekuasi is well supported by Frs ‘Ofa Vaihu sm, Steven Lugabai sm, Sipiliano Faka’osi sm, and Mikaele Misinale sm. We wish St John and ‘Apifo’ou as well as Dala School and Wainoni (Solomon) a very successful school year.
