SCHOOLS in Honiara are gearing up for the 2025 academic year, set to begin in less than two weeks.
Among these schools is Saint Nicholas Anglican College, which started student registration for kindy, primary, and secondary on Tuesday.
School Principal (Secondary), Jon Patteson confirmed that registration would run for two weeks.
He specifically urged the new Form one intakes, to come forward for registration as soon as possible
“We are expecting all the form ones to come and register now that the results have been released last year,” he said.
However, Patteson noted that registration turnout has been slower than expected.
“Turnout of registration for yesterday and today is okay and is not that crowded. Probably parents are still looking for funds and some are yet to travel back from the islands,” he explained.
Patteson indicated that registration numbers are likely to increase in the coming days, particularly with the expected release of the national exam results next week.
While the school has seen increased interest in transfer, Patterson emphasized that the priority for now would be given to continuing and new students.
“Current students and new intakes must show their interest and come forward for registration,” he urged.
Meanwhile, Bishop Epalle Catholic School is also preparing for the new academic year. Principal Sam Alley confirmed that teachers have been recalled this week in preparation for registration, which will take place from January 15th -17th.
Honiara High School has also confirmed that registration will occur next week.
All three schools will officially commence the academic year on Monday, January 20th, which has been specified by the Ministry of Education and Human Resources Development (MEHRD).
