From the President

Dear fellow alumnae of Adi Cakobau School,

 As the president of the Adi Cakobau School Old Girls Incorporated, it is my great pleasure to welcome you to our new website! This platform is part of our celebration as Adi Cakobau School marks its 75th anniversary this year, and we are excited to share this milestone with you.

Adi Cakobau School was founded to empower indigenous Fijian women to rise beyond their country and lead Fiji into a new global world. It is a testament to the vision and determination of our founders that we have produced so many women leaders who have gone on to make a difference in their communities and beyond.

As an organization, we are committed to communicating more with our members. We want to hear from you, and we want to share with you. We want to create a space where we can celebrate each other’s achievements, support each other’s goals, and inspire each other to continue making a difference in the world.

In a small developing country like Fiji, the importance of women leaders cannot be overstated. We are the backbone of our communities, the nurturers of our families, and the drivers of progress and change. We stand on the shoulders of the women who have gone before us, and we must continue to pave the way for the generations of women who will come after us.

So please, explore the website, connect with your fellow alumnae, and join us as we celebrate the legacy of Adi Cakobau School and empower women leaders for the future.

Ratu Epeli Nailatikau, Taufa Vakatale and the youngest student at ACS cut the school birthday cake.

11 October, 2018, The Fiji Times

ADI Cakobau School (ACS) last week celebrated it’s 70th anniversary, marking the school’s journey since its establishment on October 1, 1948.

While speaking at the launching of the celebrations at the school in Sawani last week, chief guest and former President Ratu Epeli Nailatikau reminded the students to continue to uphold everything the school represents.

He said the school was born from the idea to uphold traditional Fijian values and customs and has reared women in all aspects of life.

“Women who have made a difference wherever they are placed. It has made politicians, diplomats, civil servants, medical professionals, university lecturers, economists, chartered accountants and professionals in other fields,” Mr Nailatikau said.

He said ACS had an outstanding legacy and the current students must continue to uphold this legacy in the years to come.

Hundreds of students, ex-scholars, families and friend gathered at the school ground culminating the launching of the week-long festival.
