            • School Celebrates Fundraising Success as Form 4A Leads with Top Contribution

            • The school community came together once more for a special evening to celebrate the closing of the recent Bazar fundraising events. While the night centered on tallying form contributions, it also served as a milestone moment: recognizing the school’s impressive fundraising journey across multiple campaigns.

              Form 4A stood out as the top achievers, raising $1,653.50 under the guidance of Mr. Kaburoro and Ms. Lafue—surpassing all other forms and earning well-deserved praise.

              On behalf of the School Board Directors, the Vice Chairlady expressed heartfelt thanks to the winners for their hard work and leadership, which helped propel the total Bazar fundraising to $7,725.30. Her gratitude extended to the entire staff and student body for their dedication and unity.

              In addition to this year’s Bazar, the school recognized income from previous fundraising efforts, including last year's campaign and generous support during the Teraina and Tabuaeran school visits. Coordinated under the guidance of the Parish, these combined initiatives have brought the total amount raised to 24,723.85.

              This milestone brings the school closer to achieving key goals—such as acquiring a much-needed vehicle and printer—investments that will enhance both learning and operations.

              Here’s how each form contributed to the recent Bazar total:

              • Form 4A: $1,653.50 (Kaburoro, Lafue)
              • Form 4B: $506.50 (Erenoa, Teigoa, Baaka)
              • Form 4C: $736.50 (Karenga, Adrian, Maere)
              • Form 5A: $1,200.00 (Tinomai, Maereiti, Tikantaake)
              • Form 5B: $585.00 (Moanibou, Teakin, Chaplain)
              • Form 5C: $516.00 (Alice, Teatarake, Tebwebwe)
              • Form 6 Art: $737.00 (Raubane, Mireta, Boiti)
              • Form 6 Commerce: $720.00 (Lisa, Sr Lucy, Tabunga)
              • Form 6 Science: $643.80 (Temari, Uribano, Burao)

              With eyes now turned toward the upcoming academic calendar and national exams, the school community celebrates not only financial achievement but the spirit of teamwork and determination that made it all possible.

            • 💒 Parish Partnership in Focus – Welcoming the Vicar General

            •  

              Saint Francis High School was honored to play a vibrant role in welcoming Fr. Kanoua, Vicar General of the Diocese of Kiribati & Nauru, during his recent pastoral visit to Kiritimati Parish. As part of our ongoing school–parish outreach, this special occasion brought together students, staff, and the wider faith community in joyful celebration.

              One of the highlights of the visit was a traditional dance performance by our students, held during the parish’s official welcome and Sunday feast. With grace and energy, the students expressed their respect for the Church and their commitment to spiritual and cultural service.

              What followed was both humbling and unexpected—members of the wider parish, moved by the performance, began voluntarily placing donations into a nearby box in appreciation of the students’ efforts. By the end of the celebration, the amount collected totaled $887, a touching show of support that left both staff and students deeply honored.

              This heartfelt gesture serves as a reminder of the strong bond between Saint Francis and the Parish. Through events like this, our school continues to nurture faith, pride, and gratitude.
