Weather…

All Saints School in Honiara is one of the oldest and most prestigious educational institutions in the Solomon Islands, established by the Anglican Church through the Melanesian Mission. Since its inception, the school has played a critical role in educating the nation's intellectual and political leaders. The campus includes historic buildings that reflect the long-standing educational traditions introduced during the missionary era. All Saints served as more than just an academic center; it was a cultural melting pot where students from various island provinces gathered, fostering a sense of national unity. Many of the key figures involved in the Solomon Islands' journey to independence in 1978 were educated here. The school is well-regarded for its emphasis on discipline, moral education, and Christian values, making it a highly sought-after institution for families in Honiara. Today, it remains a vital primary and secondary school, balancing its rich historical heritage with modern academic requirements.
