Hello Parents & caregivers, As you all know that in Week 9 it is A Pod Speech Competition  hence there will be no Homework. This will give  extra time for the students to practice their speeches at home. Please help your children to learn their speeches. We will be having class finals tomorrow. I need Tongan speakers please.  It can a prayer or a Bible Verse. Some of them are ready for the competition as they have practiced well. Thanks to those parents who have worked with their children. Looking forward to the Competition. 

Hello parents & caregivers, A1 will have swimming session tomorrow. The Instructors will take the students for their swimming lessons. So, please send your children with their swimming gear. I know it is that time of the year when the students are getting sick. If the students are swimming I have asked them to bring in their swimming caps so they are not sitting with wet hair and feeling cold.   Students were very excited when I informed them that there will be swimming tomorrow. Looking forward to it. Just a reminder about our Speeches for Week 9.   Looking for students who speak Tongan language. At the moment A1 has only 1 Tongan speaker. I would like at least 3 Tongan speakers for the Competitions. Parents please help your children. Thanks.    Well done to some of our awesome speakers who are all ready for the Competitions.  Thanks once again parents for your continuous  support.

Hello parents & caregivers, A huge thanks to all the parents who have support us for the Samoan Language Week. It was a huge success as everyone got into the spirit of celebration.  A1 students learnt simple everyday phrases, counting in Samoan language, the Independence movement and the National Flag of Samoa. Some even tried to read Samoan Text. Well done to Israel Tony who is really working hard to read Samoan books.  Thanks to the parents who responded to the text message. A1 students were all ready to go to St.Anthony's for A & D Pod Mass.  As you all know it's getting close to A Pod's Speech Competitions. I have asked that every student in A1 participates in the Speech Competitions. They should be ready with a speech both in their own language as well as in English and present it to the class. The ones who do the best will get to go in the Finals. So hurry up!! Spelling words: Butterflies                ...
