Salutation
Eastertide Greetings your Eminence and fellow Apifo'ou Family!
Admin Briefs
This is the final week of Term 1 and indeed an eventful one. The two main events for the week was the Closing Mass on Thursday and the Career Day today (Friday).
The college Cheering Squad also took part in the Digicel Cheering competition. Like the one last year the college Cheering Team was recorded yesterday and it will be shown in the Digicel Facebook Page. The one that has the most likes/votes will win the first prize. So I appeal to all the ex-students to cast your vote for the college!
The Closing Mass is a special one as it wraps up all the efforts and activities of the Term. We continue to give thanks to the Almighty God for the many blessings and graces bestowed upon the Apifo'ou Family throughout the Term.
However, the highlight for this week is the Apifo'ou Career Day that ended an hour ago. The Career Committee: Malia Lita, Pauline Bourke, Tolisi Laitia, Norma Taukapo, Frank Katoa, Sakopo Lolohea, and Saane Paletu'a did a wonderful Job. They did practically everything by themselves, so Bravo Career Team!

The athletes from our two secondary schools on Tongatapu, AFC & TKL, had a trial day to try out their fitness levels. Our best wishes to both Teams come the Inter-Collegiate Sports in the following week.
Conclusion
Our heartfelt gratitude goes out to all the ex-students, individuals, families, parishes who have generously contributed to the feeding and other needs of the Athletic Squad: Fakamalo lahi atu ki he si'i kau Patele Tauhi Palokia mo e kaingalotu 'o Ma'ufanga, Houmakelikao, Pea, mo Hihifo. Fakamalo atu kia Dr. Mafi, Joyce and family, To'uako 70/71, Siale Vani Vaka'uta, Soane Laitia, Bill Falekaono and the rest.
We have one full week to slow down and recover before we embark on the athletic competition on the 24th of April. Those who wish to donate to the squad for the remaining week or so before competition starts are most welcome! We'll take a week's break but it won't be much of a break as we're going to harvest the Taro plantation of the college in the coming week as well.
Viva AFC!
