Japanese Ambassador HE Mr. Tetsuya Ishii said he was happy to hand over a project that will help build the foundation of young citizens and cultivate in each pupil the possibility to grow into the future of Tonga and international society.

He commended the combined efforts of the school, PTA, contractor and the Catholic Church in guaranteeing access to education for all.

Fr Vehikite Malokula thanked the Ambassador for the significant assistance granted for the school. While HE Cardinal Mafi blessed the building.
