Taking on the Challenge: Alpheus Fiuramo's Judo Journey

Taking on the Challenge: Alpheus Fiuramo's Judo Journey From a schoolboy inspired by martial arts movies to a police officer building his skills through Judo, Alpheus Fiuramo is proving that it is never too late to challenge yourself. Alpheus Fiuramo's interest in martial arts began in 2008, when he was a student at Koloale Community High School. His older brother had joined a Judo club and regularly trained at the Multipurpose Hall. Watching his brother train sparked Alpheus's interest, while martial arts movies added to his fascination with the sport. Growing up, Alpheus also experienced bullying, which motivated him to learn a martial art himself. Years later, he has found an opportunity to pursue that interest through the Royal Solomon Islands Police Force (RSIPF) Judo Club. Alpheus now serves in the RSIPF Close Personal Protection Department, balancing his policing duties with training in the martial art that first caught his attention as a schoolboy. Through his commitment to training, Alpheus is one of 13 members of the club who have graded up to yellow belt, marking an important step in their Judo journey. "I never back down from a challenge because I believe it builds character. Earning my yellow belt is an achievement for me because it shows my commitment to learning and developing my skills in Judo," Alpheus said. Beyond the achievement, Alpheus sees Judo as an opportunity to develop skills that can support his work as a police officer. Training helps build fitness, coordination and control, which can be useful in policing duties, including the safe detention and apprehension of suspects. He encourages fellow officers to join the club, saying it is a good way to refresh their skills, keep fit and stay motivated outside work. The RSIPF Judo Club was officially established in March 2026 and is helping members develop their skills through regular training and grading. Kevin Shaw, an advisor with the RSIPF and AFP Policing Partnership Program (RAPPP) and a Judo instructor, is a second-degree black belt known as Nidan. He brings years of experience to the club and guides members as they work towards their next level. "Judo is about so much more than just learning techniques. It develops discipline, physical fitness, coordination, and the ability to remain composed under pressure, qualities that are valuable in policing. Seeing 13 members achieve their yellow belts is a great milestone for the club, and I hope their progress inspires more officers to step onto the mat and discover what Judo can offer," Shaw said. Shaw also recognised Alpheus's achievement and the opportunities that may lie ahead. "Alpheus's achievement shows what can be achieved through commitment and training, and who knows where his Judo journey might take him. In the future, he may have the opportunity to represent the RSIPF at international police Judo competitions. It's something our officers can aspire to while continuing to develop their skills, fitness, and discipline," Shaw said. The club now has more than 35 members, including RSIPF officers, Correctional Service Solomon Islands (CSSI) officers and children of police officers, who train twice a week to develop their techniques and work towards further grades. The RSIPF Judo Club acknowledges the valuable support of the Australian Defence Force, Pacific Centre for Law Enforcement Cooperation and Oceania Judo Union, whose assistance with crash mats, judo uniforms and training T-shirts has supported the club's training and development. For Alpheus, earning his yellow belt is more than a grading achievement. It represents his commitment to pursuing an interest that began during his school years and his determination to keep challenging himself. Alongside 12 other members who graded up to yellow belt, Alpheus has shown what commitment, discipline and a willingness to learn can achieve. Their success is also an encouragement to other officers to step onto the mat, challenge themselves and discover new skills. From a schoolboy inspired by martial arts to a police officer continuing to learn and grow, Alpheus's journey is a reminder that it is never too late to pursue an interest, take on a new challenge and achieve something you can be proud of.

Minister Kumi concludes New Zealand visit to inform education reforms

MINISTRY OF EDUCATION AND HUMAN RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT MEDIA RELEASE Minister Kumi concludes New Zealand visit to inform education reforms AUCKLAND, NEW ZEALAND, 17 October 2026 — Minister of Education and Human Resource Development, Hon. Stephen Kumi, has concluded a week-long consultation and study visit to New Zealand to inform Solomon Islands’ education reforms, with a focus on technical and vocational learning, STEM and higher education. The programme, held from 10 to 18 October, included six education and training institutions and consultations with five government and education agencies. It explored how schools, training providers, universities and employers can create clearer pathways into further study and employment. Findings and recommendations will be formally submitted to the MEHRD Senior Management Team, relevant authorities and Cabinet for consideration. In Wellington, Hon. Kumi met New Zealand’s Minister for Tertiary Education, Hon. Penny Simmonds, at the Beehive, and Minister of Education, Hon. Erica Stanford, during the New Zealand Vocational Education and Training Research Forum, strengthening dialogue and bilateral cooperation. Agency consultations involved the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade (MFAT), Ministry of Education, New Zealand Qualifications Authority (NZQA), Tertiary Education Commission (TEC) and Education New Zealand. Discussions covered curriculum, assessment, literacy, numeracy, STEM, qualifications, quality assurance, careers guidance and transitions into tertiary study and work. The six institutions were the New Zealand Māori Arts and Crafts Institute at Te Puia; Toi Ohomai Institute of Technology; Auckland University of Technology (AUT), South Campus; Manurewa High School; Western Springs College; and Skills Trades Training at Highbrook. Visits demonstrated vocational and university pathways, school and industry partnerships, and learning connected to culture, communities and careers. Key lessons included connecting academic and technical learning through recognised pathways, enabling progression from practical training to higher qualifications and degrees where entry requirements are met. Strong literacy and numeracy, practical Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM), informed career choices and employer-supported work experience were also central to preparing students for further learning and workforce needs. The consultations highlighted clear institutional responsibilities, credible qualifications, quality assurance, student support and community participation. Recommendations will consider how these approaches can be adapted to Solomon Islands’ resources, geography and provincial needs. The visit supports two major Government reforms: Free Education and the establishment of the Ministry of Higher Education, Skills Development, Research and Innovation (MHESDRI). Lessons will inform efforts to improve access, education quality and sustainable delivery. Groundwork for the new ministry is progressing, with full operation expected during the first quarter of 2027. It will provide a dedicated home for universities operating in Solomon Islands, post- secondary studies, Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET), research and innovation, strengthening coordination and alignment with national development priorities. Concluding the consultations, Hon. Kumi visited communities in Waikato and Auckland, explained the delegation’s mission and outlined the reform priorities. He reaffirmed the Government’s commitment to better education opportunities and called on professionals living in New Zealand to share expertise and practices that could support learning pathways, skills training and higher education in Solomon Islands. The Minister thanked the New Zealand Government, through MFAT, for making the visit possible; the Manaaki New Zealand Scholarships programme and Skills Group for facilitating it; and host institutions, agencies and communities for their welcome and exchange of knowledge.
