Their first visit on 24^th February, was to Christ the King parish, Tetere, where the Don Bosco Fathers and Brothers run the Catholic parish.  Present on the occasion was the Premier of Guadalcanal, Honorable Ezekiel Alebua, who expressed his thanks and joy at the visit of the sisters and hopes that they may be inspired by the spirit to care for the education and health of the people.

At a simple opening for the new students of form one, on 25^th February, 2002, Sr. Ciri Hernandez fma, commented on the spirit of joy for any young man or woman, attending a salesian school, and if there is something wrong they are able to fix it quickly.   “Sanctity”, she stated, “is always being cheerful as was Dominic Savio, who was raised to the altar of sanctity at the very young age of 15 years”.  She highlighted the fact that young people are capable of understanding the plan of God for them.  They must make this plan come true with great responsibility and together with their teachers they discover their talents and gifts.  They in turn must share their gifts with others in their families.  The young know how to change society and they can do it by becoming ‘Good Christians and Honest citizens’.

22 students have commenced their three-year Training  programme at the school and join their older brothers of Technical programme in the first and second year.  Several older men have opted for an intensive training programme to commence in June 2002.
