Our story 校史

It started with a tailor’s shop.

一切从一家裁缝店说起

In 1949 the Resident Commissioner, ordering a suit in Chinatown, saw Chinese children playing in the street and asked why they were not in school. That same year twenty-six children in new uniforms started classes in a building Honiara's Chinese community paid for. The lion on our crest, the lion dance and Lion Tales all come from that beginning.
