To our students, parents, teachers and distinguished guests, it is a great honour to celebrate with you today as we officially open this beautiful new school building.
Today is more than the opening of a building. It is the opening of new opportunities, new dreams and a brighter future for every child who will learn within these classrooms.
On behalf of the Government of Samoa, I congratulate Peace Chapel Christian School for your vision, commitment and investment in quality education. Schools like yours, play a vital role in helping our nation achieve the aspirations set out in the Pathway for the Development of Samoa. By providing quality learning environments, supporting excellent teaching, and preparing young people to become responsible citizens and future leaders.
What makes this school truly special, is its strong Christian foundation.
As your invitation reminds us:
“All your children shall be taught by the Lord, and great shall be your children’s peace.1′ Isaiah 54 versus 13
May this continue to guide every teacher, every student and every family associated with Peace Chapel Christian School.
To all our students, I leave you with this simple message:
Dream big.
Work hard.
Respect your parents and teachers.
Stay away from illegal drugs.
Believe in yourselves.
Trust in God.
As Nelson Mandela once said, “Education – is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.”
May this building be a place where knowledge is gained, character is formed, faith is strengthened, and future generations are inspired to achieve their full potential.
