In addition to being a recollection of events and experiences of former pupils, teachers and principals, the book also comprises list of entrants, honors board, staff, prefects, house captains, school roll, significant events, achievements (academic, sports, cultural) and photographs. There is a section also on the hostel and SCOPA.

· Ruta Sinclair - ex teacher, ex student
· Mataina Teo - ex student (head girl)
· Filifilia Tamasese - ex teacher
