The main aim of the "Alumni Avele Agricultural College" Qld Australia (AAAC) is to maintain a core community engagement with the former pupils in the hope of continuing and reviving culture, diversity and youth development. The AAAC was established in 2022 through the realization that the original Avele Agriculture College was a very special school with a unique history which is worthy of preserv
ation. AAAC - HISTORY OF AVELE IN BRIEF:
Avele College is located in the island of Upolu, Samoa. At an estimate terrain elevation above sea level of 125 meters, a perfect setting for an evergreen plantation. In November 1923, it was cleared and cultivated to allow the establishment of the South Pacific regional Agricultural College, attended by students from other island such as Tokelau, Niue, Cook Islands, Tuvalu, American Samoa, and New Zealand. The initiative emphasizes the benefits that environmentally sustain- able agriculture can deliver other opportunity of employments. We believe in developing lifelong values, learning skills that will benefit families, future generation, and community for success in life. AAAC - OUR MISSION:

Our mission is to enable our youths to learn and experience the Samoan Culture, appreciate where we all started “THE LAND”. Be open minded and accepting of others differences. AAAC - FUTURE GOALS & OBJECTIVES:
