Kia ora koutou e te whānau,

This year’s theme for Faahi Tapu he Vagahau Niue (Niue Language Week) is “Fakatūleva e Vagahau Niue mo e Tau Aga Fakamotu ma e Tau Atuhau”, which means Sustain Niue Language and Culture for Future Generations.

Vagahau Niue has been registered with UNESCO as an endangered language, so one of the challenges is the preservation of Vagahau Niue and Niue culture.

There really is a great feel around the school. The children have most certainly enjoyed seeing a little bit of the sun. All students need a school sunhat. These can be purchased from school for $15.

A very competitive game of touch rugby at lunchtime on Monday.

We had a stunning Liturgy to celebrate the importance of Grandparents. Thank you to our amazing students who really captured the importance of Grandparents. Thank you to all parents and Grandparents who attended our Liturgy and to our parents who organised and set up morning tea.

There is a lot happening throughout the term please keep an eye on the school calendar. We are looking forward to the disco tomorrow at St Mary's College gymnasium. Tickets can be purchased through school for $5.00 each.  Parking will be available at the school after 5.30pm - this will enable our parents to pick up their children from After School Care.

A big shout out to our EPro8 teams - so amazing what our students can achieve under immense pressure. Thank you to Therese who has prepared our children to participate in this event.

Thank you all for everything that you do for us that makes our school run so smoothly.

Have a wonderful week.
