Motufoua Secondary School
Motufoua Secondary School is boarding school for boys and girls on Vaitupu atoll. As Tuvalu consists of 9 islands the students reside on Vaitupu during the school year and return to their home islands during the school vacations. Vaitupu received worldwide attention in March 2000, when a fire in a dormitory at the school killed 18 girls and an adult supervisor. It was later discovered that the fire was caused by a student using a candle to read during the night. The School celebrated 100 years of education in 2005. In 2009 the student roll at Motufoua Secondary School was 550.
==Establishment of the School==
The London Missionary Society (LMS) established a primary school at Motufoua on Vaitupu in 1905. The purpose was to prepare young men for entry into the LMS seminary in Samoa. This school evolved into the Motufoua Secondary School.
The activities of the LMS were taken over by the Church of Tuvalu. From 1905 to 1963 Motufoua only admitted students from Church of Tuvalu schools. In 1963 the Church of Tuvalu and the administration of the Gilbert and Ellice Islands colony began to co-operate in providing education and students were enrolled from government schools. In 1970 a secondary school for girls was opened at Motufoua.
In 1974, the Ellice Islanders voted for separate British dependency status as Tuvalu, separating from the Gilbert Islands, which became Kiribati. The following year the Tuvaluan students that attended school on Tarawa were transferred to Motufoua. From 1975 the Church of Tuvalu and the government jointly administered the School.〔 Eventually administration of Motufoua became the sole responsibility of the Department of Education of Tuvalu.
