Fiji Minister for Education Aseri Radrodro officially opened a new $FJ48,000 restroom facility at Suva Seventh-day Adventist Primary School in Suvavou on September 13.
In his address at the opening ceremony, Minister Radrodro acknowledged the traditional landowners and the Adventist Church for their dedication to the education of Fiji’s children. This was the first visit to the school by a sitting Minister for Education.
Pastor Epeli Saukuru, Fiji Mission secretary, expressed his gratitude for the government’s support, noting that this was Mr Radrodro’s second visit to an Adventist school within two days. “This is a historic moment for the church, and we are grateful for the minister’s commitment and passion towards education, especially his support for Adventist education,” said Pastor Saukuru.
The new restroom facility is expected to improve the school’s infrastructure, providing better amenities for students and staff.
The school, which was established in 1898, serves the Lami area and was registered as a government-recognised primary school in 1913. It is located on land offered by the late Roko Tui Suva Ratu Aporosa Tuivuya, who accepted the Adventist faith in 1891.
