Picture1spacerHappy Samoan Language Week. Sūsū mai, Afio mai. Come and check out our display in the office this week.

Thank you to Whaea Kim and Whaea Tina for creating the fantastic Foyer display. 

We encouraged tamaiti to dress in their Samoan attire this week as we celebrate our 13th year of SLW in Aotearoa and look forward to celebrating with our tamaiti.

This year we are took a small group of students to the Samoan Speech Competition in Porirua.  We are really proud of the way they spoke with such confidence in front of such a big audience.  Congratulations to Alice who came 3rd in the Year 5 section.

Thank you to Whaea Kim, Whaea Tina and everyone who made the celebrations last week for Samoan Language Week and the 60th anniversary of Samoan Independence so special.  To have so many opportunities during the week for everyone to learn about Samoan culture and experience different aspects of this was fantastic and enriched the culture of our Kura.  It was wonderful to have members of our school Samoan community take part in the celebrations. The entrance to the office also looked wonderful.
