Welcome to the VLN Primary School May Pānui

Kia ora koutou katoa, Kia orāna, Talofa lava, Malo e lelei, Nĭ hăo 你好, Annyoung haseyo 안녕하세요, Namaste, Assalām alaikum, Hola, Bonjour, Hallo!

We recently held our AGM. Thanks to our VLN Primary schools that supported with their attendance. A big thank you to our current Governance Group members who are all staying on. Please read our Annual reports for 2021.

NZ Sign Language week has just been and we celebrated with a competition to test our tamariki's signing skills and creativity. Check out their entries. Thanks to our eteacher James from Ko Taku Reo for judging

Next week is Samoan Language Week 2022 and we are inviting learners to put a little gagana in their life! Check out this online opportunity and encourage your learners to participate. We would love to have more Pasifika learners join us in our online programmes. Please share with your Pasifika colleagues and networks.

We will soon be preparing for our Semester 2 programmes beginning in Term 3. Keep a look out for information coming out very soon about our programmes and new funding opportunities. In preparation for Term 3 we are looking for new eteachers to join our team. If this is you or you know someone who is interested please send them in our direction.

Kia pai tō rā whakatā

Ngā mihi maioha

Rachel, Lucie, Jen and the team
