From Matangi Tonga Magazine Vol. 18, no. 1, March 2003.

‘Okataina Taione 21, from Pahu, was the Dux of St Joseph’s Business College for 2002. Taina, a former student of Tonga High School said that she entered St Joseph’s Business College in 2001 with one goal in mind, “to become the Captain of the school.”

She said that after high school she knew that she was not ready to enter the workforce, “because I did not have the skills that would enable me to get a good job.”

‘Okataina said that the business college offered her the training that she needed, and the course taught her secretarial studies, desktop publishing, spreadsheet use and typing.

‘Okataina is currently working as a secretary with ‘Alatini Fisheries, and plans to take some courses at the University of the South Pacific Extension Centre at ‘Atele, Tongatapu.
