Talofa lava!! Afio Mai!! Samoan Language Week. Vaiaso o le Gagana Samoa. The theme for this year is "Lalaga le si'osiomaga mo se lumana'i manuia. 'Weave an environment for a better future.'

The flags of New Zealand and Samoa are flying high at our School (Owairaka District) to celebrate the opening of the Vaiaso o le Gagana Samoa.

Melnina Sao and Chelsea Peterson opened our Samoan Language Week by reciting a  Prayer in Samoan.
Faafetai i le Atua i lona alofa fua.
Lona alofa e le liliu,
E oo i le faavavau.
Faafetai mo lenei aso fou ua foaina mai moi tatou le fanau mo le tatalaina o le Gagana Samoa i Aotearoa nei.
I le suafa o Iesu. Amene.
