A word from the Committee

Bula vinaka, and welcome home

“As we count down to our momentous 65th Blue Sapphire Anniversary, it is with great joy and gratitude that we open this new digital home for our Gospel family — a place to reconnect, celebrate, and give back to the school that shaped so many of our lives.

Gospel Schools was born in 1961 out of an act of faith — a vision carried by dedicated men and women who believed that education and the Gospel of Jesus Christ were inseparable. Sixty-five years later, that same spirit of faith, knowledge and service continues to guide us.

This year, GESA officially became a registered Charitable Trust (Registration No. 1514), strengthening our ability to support Gospel Schools — from the High School to our Primary Schools, Kindergartens and the Gospel Deaf School — for generations to come.”

Mr Mosese Qasenivalu

Chair, 65th Blue Sapphire Anniversary Committee

“May it please God to continue to look with favour on the School… and send out boys and girls into the community who will be living witnesses to the influence of the School, to the power of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, in their lives.”
— Mr J. Foster Crane, Founder
