A big roaring bula vinaka to the Majestic 80’s Decade! Wow what a decade! It was a unique time to be alive. The 80s decade Grammarians encountered:

• Trying to figure out the Rubik’s Cube

• The release of the Pac-Man video game

• 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 release of Gameboy

• 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

• Introduction of the grey sulu

• Establishment of Form 7

• And many more …

​

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