Mitamita i lau gagana, maua’a lou fa’asinomaga

Celebrate: Sunday 28 May - Saturday 3 June (week6)

The theme for Vaiaso o le Gagana Samoa - Samoa Language Week 2023 is ‘Mitamita i lau gagana, maua’a lou fa’asinomaga’ which means ‘Be proud of your language and grounded in your identity’.

This year's theme focuses on the importance of the Samoan language and identity. It impresses on us the need not only to understand the Samoan language, but to also use it as much as possible. When you are proud of your language and can speak it, you will also be more grounded in your identity as a Samoan.

If we do have any parents or community who would like to come into school during Samoan Language Week to teach our students please contact Brodie Ridler on brodieridler@merrin.school.nz
