This Christmas AMS is turning our attention to four education institutes in the Pacific: St Dominic’s Rural Training Centre in the Solomon Islands; St Joseph’s College in Bougainville, Papua New Guinea; St Louis High School, Kiribati; and the Marist Champagnat Institute in Fiji. These four schools offer unique opportunities for marginalised young people and play a critical role in equipping these students with skills for the future. The AMS team will be in Melbourne on Sunday the 18th of November to meet friends and supporters. For more information or to register to attend click here.
St Louis High School is located on the small island of Tarawa in Kiribati. Established in 1984, the school requires upgrades particularly to its unhygienic bathrooms. The current toilet block is dilapidated, with toilets that barely flush and no doors on the cubicles.
