June 10th 2026 marks another milestone in the history and legacy of Malapoa College as a new Principal appointed by TSC was formally welcomed to the School. He is Mr. Willie Santhy a once teacher and administrator of Malapoa College untill 2014 when he transferred to Central Secondary. Principal Santhy brings to Malapoa a wealth of knowledge and teaching experience as he is also part of the SBM in the MoET. He will be accompanied by a new Deputy Principal Administration, who will be later appointed and Mr. Joe Timothy who wil nowl head and the Academic Office of the school.
In the same respect, the school applaudes Mr. Agustine Tabi who commenced duty as the Acting Principal in April 2024 till today from his capacity as Deputy Principal. Mr. Tabi's administration culminated with very challenging situations such as the teachers strike of 2024-2025 and the December 2024 earthquake. The other three Administrators, Mr. Frankie Tureleo, Mrs. L. Obed and Mr. David Tamata, will be expected to vacate office too as new appointees will take over.
The College community congratulates this new Administration and continually asks parents/guardians to render support to the new Principal and team form now onwards.

MP Fred Samuel as chairman of college council and PEO SHEFA, Mr. Naviti were in presence to emphasise assurance from the national, provincial and council level their continued support for this new Admin.

Hence, any queries can now be directed to the new admin.

Our prayers is for God's guidance and protection to be provided for Malapoa's new Principal and team.

College Administration.

Due to the world cup fever and the VBTC world cup Parade the school has decided to commemorate this event by allowing the students to wear their world cup Jersy to school tomorrow 5/ 06/3026. If you have no jersy bring a small flag.

An activity long overdue as Malapoa College farewell some of its 2025/2026 departing transfer teachers.
The College Council, Administration, Teaching and Ancillary staff and students appreciate these teachers for their immense academic contribution to teaching and learning over the past years.
Malapoa College acknowledges each ones input, not only in class but equally in other non-academic programs, decision makings and ex*****on of many activities that have shaped the lifes of many students who have passed through the corridors of this wonderful institution.
Their warm friendship will be missed at Malapoa College, but "once a staff always a family".
Many challenges and good times were shared at Malapoa College, nonetheless the College cherishes every bit of memories exchanged. Some memories will become history, others will remain as legacies of this institution.
Malapoa wish them the best in their new schools and new environments they encounter
