The Society of Saint Vincent de Paul of Auckland, as part of the 2013 “Assist a School Project” in support of schools in the Pacific, sent a large shipment of desks and chairs to Takuilau College in Tonga and also to colleges in Samoa earlier this year.
These 200 sets of second-hand desks and chairs were generously donated by Whangaparaoa College.
Takuilau College is situated in the Eastern District of the main island of Tongatapu. The college has approximately 450 to 500 students starting at Form 1 following on to Form 5; the College was originally founded by the Marist Brothers more than 30 years ago.
