ILAVALAVA DAY
Following Samoan Language week we held an Ilavalava Day for all Staff & Students. Those who wanted to were able to come to school dressed in traditional Samoan dress or an Ilavalava. These girls are but few who came dressed for the occasion.
Teaching Students how to use "ANIMOTO"
ICT is an important class for all our students. It gives them a chance to research topics and learn how to use the programs to present their work.
We endeavor to teach them new and interesting ways to showcase their work.
Mrs Davis has introduced us to ANIMOTO. It is a fun and easy way for the Students to present their work in slideshow form. Here is an example of what one of the students in room 9 has created.

For example...
Talofa lava- Hello
Fa'amolemole - Please
Fa'afaetai - Thank you
Manuia - Happy
Matua - Parent
A'oga - School
Alofa - Love
The kids have really enjoyed their learning. Thank you Mrs Fa'alava'au for all your hard work this week.
THE SPORTS BOOK
The sports book is really cool because it’s all colourful and easy to read. It has animated pictures and diagrams to show you how they play the sport and the rules. It has so much information about all sorts of sports. The grass cover of the book looks very inviting and fun to feel.
