The school is overall good quality and prepares students for higher education. The only concern I have is the administration's lack of attention to the music program.

Suva Intermediate is not the problem. Parents need to get more involved in their children's education at home, after school and during the weekends. If the parents have a minimal education, at least they can check and make sure their kids are doing the homework everyday.
