SAMOAN LANGUAGE WEEK

SAMOA WEEK

Yesterday was the launch of Samoa language week and the theme was Ia u’u mau i au measina which means in english hold fast to your treasures. There were guests there, it was Mr Peseta Sam Lotuiiga and Reverend Leiite Setefano and the faletua. The aoga a le teuila joined  and tamaki college and they performed really good. We sang two national anthems we sang Samoa and New Zealand.  We were lucky to be nominated from the minister to launch the Samoan language week at our school.

After  we performed Mr Burt  asked a volunteer from the Samoan group to sing the food prayer in Samoa. After that Reverend Leiite  Setefano said a speech in Samoa and there was one part of the speech that was interesting is when he said “ language is a gift from God”, that made me interested and then he closed us with a prayer. Everyone went to class and we stayed to help the guest with their food and talk to them.
