On Wednesday, August 27, 2025 students from six schools in Honiara got the opportunity to interact with water experts at the “16th Pacific Water and WasteWater Association Conference and Expo 2025” at the Aquatic Centre in Honiara.
Henry Kuper, Health and Safety coordinator from Solomon Water in an interview said getting students to involve in this conference is a privilege as this is the first time for Solomon Islands to host such a conference.
He voiced that this was an opportunity for students to directly interact with water experts and enhance their learning on water related issues.
“It is an opportunity for students to interact with water experts here at the conference. Having students here will help trigger their learning because water is not just about turning on the tap, there is a lot of technical mechanisms behind it,” said Kuper.
He mentioned that prior to meeting the water experts at the expo, the students were treated to a session from Solomon Water which catered to asking and answering of questions between students and the presenter.
Kuper expressed that he was really proud of the students for asking questions during the session because it showed that they were really interested in the session.
He noted that they wanted more schools to attend the day’s session for the students but only students from six schools namely; KG, St Nicholas College, Honiara High, Betikama, Chung Wah School and Woodford International School showed up.
