A key highlight of the day will be the commissioning of the newly rebuilt Degei, Cakau and Maafu House which were previously destroyed by fire.

The day’s events will conclude with the launch of the RKS website.

Ratu Kadavulevu School, located in Lodoni, Tailevu North, is the largest boarding school in Fiji, accommodating around 1,000 boarding students and 100 day scholars.

Founded in 1924 as the Provincial School Eastern by the high chief Ratu Penaia Kadavulevu, the school was later renamed in his honor.

RKS is organized into four houses including Ratu Sukuna, Maafu, Degei, and Cakau.
