My experience in Suva was good due to the fact I got a chance to meet amazing people in my life and learned a lot from my experiences there. For example, I learned that we should take responsibility for our actions and also respect every people. A complain is that their is this teacher that lost all of our work and will always blame it on us but when we always told her to check she did and found our list work and that will get me upset because it affected my grade.

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.
