awards night

The apparent snub came a month after Ryan had tangled with the Fiji Rugby Union over player payments.

However the FRU said Ryan had simply not been nominated by any local club affiliates.

At Saturday's event Fiji's Prime Minister Frank Bainimarama paid tribute to Ryan and the Englishman was inducted into the Wall of Fame alongside Apakuki Tuitavua, Ratu Sir George Cakobau, Barry Sweetman and Pio Bosco Tikoisuva.

The students were presented with certificates for their excellent performance in their classes.

The awards night kicked off with the school’s anthem followed by an address by the principal.

Parents and guardians turned up in full support for the children and there was a lot jubilation as some of them received their awards.

The students are now looking forward to the school holidays which begin at the end of the week.
