"Good academic results have seen Samoa Adventist School’s (SAS) reputation rise in the eyes of the community, according to Principal Eteuati Koria.
The 515-student school had flown under the radar of most in Samoa until 2013, when the school, for the first time, sent representatives to the Battle of the Minds competition. The SAS team of six top students, with three subs, surprised many, including themselves by reaching the final.
“Because it had always been held on Sabbath, we couldn’t participate in the games, but [last] year, we did and the eyes of the country were really impressed,” said Mr Koria.
Mr Koria says the community is focused on external exam results and for the past three years, the primary and secondary school has seen 100 per cent pass rates, with some students receiving very high grades.
The school also had a student publish a book of English poems. Final year student and principal’s daughter, Jasmine Koria’s book was included in the high school English curriculum around the country.
“I had a vision to develop the spiritual side of things,” said Mr Koria." TheRecord
