THE Anglican Church of Melanesia (ACOM) Education Provider (EP) has officially expanded its network, welcoming four newly registered schools under its authority effective as of 2026.
ACOM Education Secretary, Desmond Waita confirmed the inclusion of the four standalone institutions, hailing the expansion as a significant milestone for the church’s educational mission.
The newly registered schools are Ysabel Senior Secondary School, Dawea Transfiguration ECE, Dadala Primary School, and Selwyn College Primary.
Among the highlights of the announcement was the formal independence of Dadala Primary School in Ngella, Central Islands Province. The school, which formerly operated as an extension of Taroniara Primary School, has now achieved full registration status.
“This achievement marks a significant step forward for the school, its students, staff, and the wider community.
“Warm congratulations to the school Principal, Allen Dutton, and the Ministry of Education and Human Resources Development (MEHRD) Director of School Registration, Davis Pitamama, on this important milestone,” Waita said.
He also extends congratulations to the Dawea Transfiguration Early Childhood Centre in Vura Parish, Honiara.
The centre has successfully registered as an Early Childhood Education (ECE) provider under the ACOM banner, strengthening the church’s footprint in foundational learning.
“Well done to everyone involved for your hard work and commitment to education,” Waita said.
