Term 3 Week 8 - Tongan Language Week

Malo e lelei Whanau! What a fantastic end to a fabulous week! We've had Tasty lūpulu, chop suey and otai yesterday and graceful Tongan dancing by the girls today! We've really been spoilt this week! 

Here's a video showing how to make your own otai. With summer around the corner, we'll have an abundance of fruit available. 

Reminders for next week:

• Just a reminder that this Wednesday 16 September, we are having a Wacky / Weird / Wig Wednesday! Your children are encouraged to go all out along with the staff and come to school in mufti sporting their choice of hairstyle.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          All this is to raise funds for the Cancer Society; so we'll be having a sausage sizzle and iceblocks combo ($3) on sale. Extra sausages/iceblocks can be ordered separately.                                                                                                                                                                                              Unfortunately, with current alert levels we cannot invite parents onsite.                                                                                                                                                                                                         
• Next week is Te Wiki o te Reo Māori. Watch this space for updates!

2018 Term 3 Week 7 - Tongan Language Week

Mālō e lelei Glen Innes Whanau

Tongan Language Week was a great success with students (and teachers) making a concerted effort to learn Tongan words and phrases! Tongan Language Week ended today with a colourful assembly that included beautiful singing and some very graceful Tongan dancing! Students even got to try some authentic Tongan food prepared by our amazing staff - thank you very much!

Congratulations to Joshua and Hevaha for being selected from Room 10 to present their speeches at the Speech Competition on Thursday (yesterday).

Hevaha was the winner in the Junior School category, Nia Jaye from the Middle School and Harrison from the Senior School - malo!

Toki sio!
