She has now taken up her new position at the College at the beginning of this new school year.

Mrs. Sawaya was previously the Principal of Sacred Heart Girls College in New Plymouth.

Before that was Deputy Principal of Sacred Heart College in Hamilton.

Sawaya also had experience in co-ed schools earlier in her career.

At a small function at school before the Board interviews, Rose said, "I was at O'Shea Shield this year and saw the great way the students reacted and supported Mimisa when she won the Junior Samoan speech competition.

It was something you can all be proud of."
