Avuavu Secondary School

Location :

Avuavu Secondary School, South Guadalcanal, Guadalcanal Province, Honiara

Avuavu Secondary School is located on the Weather Coast of Guadalcanal in Solomon Islands. This is an isolated and difficult to-get-to part of the island. Avuavu is a co-ed boarding school with about 500 students from Grade 6 to 12 (Forms 1–6). This is an important school for Solomon Islands and the Pacific Islands region. Many of Avuavu Secondary School’s graduates have gone on to complete higher degrees and now working in Solomon Islands and other parts of the Pacific Islands region.

The school’s mission is to provide the best teaching and learning environment for the next generation of Solomon Islanders.

The Catholic Church built most of school’s infrastructure and facilities in the early 1960s. It was for the church’s primary school. In the 1980s the school transitioned into a secondary/high school and the Solomon Islands Government took over the management. Since then, the school’s infrastructure has deteriorated. There is a need to renovate and build new buildings, water supply system, electricity, etc.
