**SCHOOL PROFILE**

Nu’uausala College is a mission school of the Congregational Christian Church of Samoa. It is located in the village of Nofoali’i in A’ana district. The main purpose for the establishment of the school was to cater for the students of the district who can not afford, and do not meet the academic level of urban based secondary schools. Most of the students are from the A’ana district starting from the most rural areas on the Western side of Upolu.

In the 2007, Nu’uausala College started its Year 13 and has grown in numbers along with the school roll. In the same year, the school recorded a total number of almost 300 students with a year 13 of 11 students. The school now has a total roll of 573 students and a year 13 of 51 students. Evidently, the school's population and success is rapidly growing and it is getting to the situation whereby the Church’s Education Board is looking at catering for the continuous increase in student numbers.

Academically, since the establishment of the Year 13, many students have progresses to Tertiary level, achieving good qualifications. The numbers have also continued to increase. Several new subjects such as Agricultural Science, Visual Arts and Physical Education have been introduced at the senior level and are now firmly established in our school curriculum. However, we have attempted for a while now to gain approval for an establishment of a Computer Lab at our school. The main objective is to expose our students to new technologies, especially the use of computers to support teaching and learning programmes and to communicate with the outside world through internet and other means of communications. This will reduce the gap between students in the rural areas and the urban schools, as well as to produce more opportunities for our students to pursue computer related careers in the coming years.
