Established in 1953,
Samoa College was the result of dialogues between the Samoan leaders of that period and the New Zealand Administration. The mission was to educate the people of Samoa to prepare themselves in every field of life. Their vision consisted of their belief that education leads to self-government.
Samoa College is one of the best secondary schools in Samoa and the students passing out from this first class educational institute in Samoa are assured of good jobs. In fact many of the present leaders of Samoa have remained students of Samoa College. The Samoa College completed its 50 years in 2003.
The
Samoa College History Project is created to compile the history of Samoa College and showcase the school's contribution to the educational development of the nation and subsequently
the development of Samoa in other related fields as well.
The Samoa College is located in Apia. It has alumni called the
Samoa College Old Pupils Association (SCOPA). It is the members of SCOPA who have taken up the responsibility of the Samoa College History Project.
The purpose of the history project is to find out whether Samoa College has been able to fulfill its vision as it had set down during its foundation. The members of the project will also find solution to problems being faced by Samoa College. The team members consist of:
- Project Liason person
- Project Coordinator
- Project Secretary
- Project Team member
- Project Treasurer Coordinator
The Alafua campus is the venue for the meetings held by the project members. The project spans over a period of more than a year.
