The
Years 7 and 8 students were lucky to have Pua Higginson and Diego Maquieira
come and inspire them about the possibility of being awarded a scholarship to
the prestigious Middlesex School in Massachusetts, U.S.A.
Pua
who is an ex-Vaiala Beach School student explained what the school is like and
the many opportunities that are available there.
Pua enjoyed her time at
Middlesex School and would love to see someone from Samoa have the same
opportunity she had.
Diego
who also attended Middlesex talked about the sporting opportunities. He
played American Football while at the school but mentioned the many other
sports that are available.
The
scholarship is a full scholarship for four years and includes all
costs. Middlesex is a boarding school with the students living on
campus. The school which is over $50,000 US a year to attend has an
outstanding reputation and would lead to many other educational opportunities.
To
be considered for the scholarship students need to be sporty and
academic. Possible candidates would sit the SSAT which is a test before
entering high school.

Pua
and Diego’s visit planted the seed and has made some of our students think “Do
I have what it takes?”
Wouldn’t
it be great if we have another ex-Vaiala Beach Student become a student at
Middlesex School?
Thank
you Pua and Diego, we appreciate you telling the students about this
opportunity.
