Present at the first session for the year were the school's Grade 3 class, Division of Education area representative John Mario, the school's head teacher Charly Deteu as well as teachers from grades 3, 4 and 5.

Regional Cricket Manager, Simon Deiwillie was looking forward to this term and commented,

"This term marks the exciting expansion our regional development, through the BSP School Kriket program, to the islands of Milne Bay surrounding Samarai."

"Without the keen enthusiasm and support of the school staff and community of the area around Samarai this exercise would be much more difficult, their support is greatly appreciated."

This term will involve programs at Sawasawaga P.S., Samarai P.S., Gogolabia P.S., Gibara P.S., Sariba/Sidudu P.S., Yokowai P.S., Wagawaga P.S., Logeia P.S., Bedauna P.S., Gwavili P.S., Kuiaro Vocational, Sidea Vocational and Primary schools, Kwakela P.S.
