Motufoua Secondary School is a boarding school for children on Vaitupu atoll, Tuvalu.[3][4][5] As of 2000[update] it is the largest high school in Tuvalu.[6][7] As Tuvalu consists of nine islands, the students reside on Vaitupu during the school year and return to their home islands during the school vacations.[8]
The school received worldwide attention in March 2000, when a fire in a dormitory at the school killed 19 girls and an adult supervisor. It was later discovered that the fire was caused by a student using a candle to read during the night.[8][6] The school celebrated 100 years of education in 2005.[9][10]
