Marist Convent School marks 75 years

Friday, October 12th, 2012

One of Vatukoula’s oldest primary schools will celebrate its Diamond Jubilee this month with hundreds of former students expected to flock to the gold mining town for the event.

Former students of Vatukoula Marist Convent school from Nadi, Suva, Lautoka and overseas have been preparing for the three-day celebrations.

Association president Graham Peckham said he was expecting more than 300 former students.

“We’re trying to raise money for the school and it would be really good to have their support.”

He said the school would be celebrating its 75th anniversary and this would make the reunion of the former students even more special. The reunion and Diamond Jubilee will be celebrated from October 12 to 14.
