Talofa, Kia orana, Ni sa bula, Malo, Fakaalofa lahi atu and warm Pasifika greetings

Last Friday we celebrated our 2023 Pasifika Student achievements, farewelled our Year 13 Pasifika students & welcomed our new 2024 Pasifika Leaders. CONGRATULATIONS to all those who received awards on the evening.

The students were acknowledged for excellence in academic subjects, attendance, values, character, culture and sports.

The celebration was a wonderful display of manaakitanga and kotahitanga in our STC community.

Thank you to all parents, families and staff who took time out of their busy lives to attend. The parents committee did a great job and we are grateful to have a group of willing parents to help.
