A Sports Awards organised by former students of Leifiifi College to recognise the achievements of students at the school has been rescheduled due to the bad weather.

"The function is canceled due to bad weather," she said. 

"We will advise when confirmed for a later date. Apologies for the inconvenience."

The event is organised with the desire to give back to the school.

"It is hosted by the  Class of 91-94 in which we are the alumni and the Sports Awards is our own project and contribution to Leififi College and student development," she said.

Leifiifi College despite pushed through with their  prize giving amidst but the Sports Award was postponed.

Few students from Leifiifi College have become great sportsmen and women in different sports in Samoa.

Samoa was hit by heavy flooding on Friday after days of rain.

For the past few days, many businesses and families have spent hours cleaning and clearing debris.

The Samoa Meteorology office in their update issued on Sunday morning said a cloud band with embedded rain and thunderstorms lies West near Savai'i island earlier due to a convergence zone.

The cancellation of the Wind, High Surf, and Coastal Flood Advisory reflect the current conditions. 

However, the Heavy Rain, Flood, and Marine advisories remain.

The potential impacts are heavy downpours at times, poor visibility, gusty winds, foggy, slippery roads over mountain passes and ranges, pooling near roadsides and waterways, and rough seas.
