Overview
Alofivai is the educational capital of Wallis, containing numerous Catholic[1] churches, institutions and schools. Alofivai contains the only secondary school/college in the Wallis and Futuna territory, established by the mission in 1922[2][3] The college is located just to the northwest of Lake Alofivai. During drier spells cows owned by the college reportedly graze in the crater lake.[4] However, during wetter periods, the lake is populated with frogs.[5]
