College Updates: Week 6 - Term 3

Salutation

Greetings your Eminence and fellow AFC Family!

Admin Briefs

In line with the Strategic Plan for the college, the afternoon study for the exams' Forms begin in the month of August. This is based on the assumption that the coverage of syllabus is complete by then. However, we humbly admit that only a few subjects have achieved that. At the same time, we're hoping that teachers and students will take advantage of these extra hours to attend to whatever needs that are imminent.

The strategy for the afternoon study is simple: school knocks off at 3.30 pm usually; light refreshments are served to the students and staff, roughly about 300; after that then students are back to the classrooms for a solid two hours of study; transports are arranged for the students who don't have pickups.

The feeding of the students after school is to comply with International Policies that govern students and minors. We have to feed them should we engage them after the official school hours. Furthermore, we pay the teachers $30 per hour.

Above is our longest serving teacher Mrs.Vika Tatafu Matekitonga still going strong even in the afternoon study.

Our Form 5 Math's teachers Mr.Sosafate Peauafi and Mr.Taniela Kapeta with their students during afternoon study.

PTA Day

All the different levels from 1 - 7 and TVET are preparing items for the PTA Day at the end of the month. This is an event that staff and students look forward to as they perform together and have fun on the day.

It's wonderful to see teachers engaging in these activities with the students.

Sports

Our remaining Grade 3 rugby Team bowed out in the semifinal against Tonga College last week. The played like true sons of 'Apifo'ou and we're so proud of what they achieved this year together with their two Fijian coaches. They'll have Thanksgiving service and meal tomorrow to mark the end of their campaign.

Their final tasks were to carry the coffin of their fallen comrade, the late Kelekolio Vete.

Sports

Our Netball Players rounded up their games last Friday and we congratulate them for their wonderful achievements this year. Our Midget, Juniors, and Intermediate became 2nd. Only our Senior B won in the final.

Conclusion

Once again, may I extend to you all our heartfelt gratitude for your prayerful support and contribution for our beloved school.
