JAWS awards Excellence in Current Affairs

The Samoa College Quiz Team won the JAWS Award of Distinction for Excellence in Current Affairs and General Knowledge as a result of the first ever televised academic quiz in Samoa. The team participated in the 2006 Telecom Samoa, College Quiz gainst 11 other schools for eight weeks and proved themselves champions in the General Knowledge and Current Affairs section answering challenging local, regional and international questions.The Board decided to create the award to encourage Samoan students and youth to follow the news on newspapers, TV,
Radio and the internet but perhaps most importantly to foster an interest for what is happening outside of Samoa.This is the first time such an award has been made by JAWS and we hope to make this an annual contribution.
