The release of the first IBM-PC

The first commercial cell phone call made
-
Introduction of the first Macintosh computer

Microsoft introduces Windows

First report of the Hole in the ozone
-
RUN DMC releases “Walk This Way”
-
CDs outselling vinyl records and tapes
-
Student protesters killed in China’s Tiananmen Square

The Internet goes global …
While
-
Selling out school concert tickets to “I will Survive”
-
Cheering our top swimmers who later represented Fiji to the SP Games
-
Being decorous during the school prefects meeting with the Marist Boys to quell conflicts between the schools

And many more …
We look forward to supporting the SGSExSA in moving forward with our collective efforts to “Give back to Suva Grammar”.
