National Samoan language competition

Sue Julian —

Mareta Ielua (11BD), Mavis Togia (12PT), Toefiliga Sua (10CR), and Avaganofoa Talimatasi (13BN) recently travelled to Auckland to participate in the FAGASA National Samoan language competition.

Early August I offered to accompany four of our students to Auckland for the FAGASA National Samoan language competition in Auckland.

The students Mareta Ielua, Mavis Togia, Toefiliga Sua, and Avaganofoa Talimatasi did exceedingly well and although there weren’t any placings, they all received a medal for their outstanding presentations.

With the entire event spoken only in Samoan I found it a real privilege to be a part of this amazing occasion.

All the best everyone for next year.
