The Shift timetable is ONLY for Classes 1,2,3,4, Yr7,Yr8, Yr9 & yr10.

Great appreciation to Mr. Ati George Sokomanu in aiding Andrianna with some insights for the Interview questions for the debate competition for the USP Open Day.

An Academic milestone for our Year 10 - 2024 and First time for Donna's Elite Foundation English Grammar School to participate at a USP Open Day Debate Competition, and to our surprise we got the first prize!!

A great appreciation to the First President of Vanuatu, Mr. Ati George Sokomanu for allowing DEFEGS Team to visit and have an interview with him regarding the Debate Theme. A short and quality time spent listening and exchanging stories, though at an age of 88, he managed to impart his blessings upon the school and its community.
