Samoan Language Week

 Poupou le lotoifale 

Ola manuia le anofale

"strengthen the post of your house for all to thrive".  

It is important to protect your language because you want to keep it in your generations for as long as it is possible. You want the next of peoples in your families to remember and be able to understand the cultural meanings. It would also be a good idea to speak it on a daily basis just to get used to it yourself. Your culture will also keep our ancestors alive.

Highlights of camp.

During our times at the camp , one of my main highlights was the leap of faith. The reason

for that being was because of the height of it , it was just above the trees and because of my

fear of heights I got rid of them. There was also when we had to build a chariot and carry the person

around. Surprisingly , the group that I was in was the only group that managed to make the chariot

and to get around the whole square. Another thing that I found enjoyable was when the water went

out and we got to watch the other class go back home early. That was something I found funny. 


If there was one thing I could’ve done better was to actually give the leap of faith another go.

Something I found challenging was rock climbing, the reason being was because it was slippery

and I wasn’t wearing shoes that comfortably fitted me. I honestly regretted not being more blankets

because first of all , the windows were wide open. Second of all it was just freezing and third of all,

it kept on falling onto the floor.


To the year 9’s that are going next year , I would advise you to bring more blankets because it was

freezing cold. Another advice I am giving you would be to listen and get to the center at the times

you were given. Just to give you more time for your next activities. One last thing that you should

remember would be to participate and try and put 150% effort into all that you do.


Thanking you!!

Social Studies! ( Survival Reflection )

During our mission , the things that we had faced was when the pirates came and destroyed our boat even more. The thing that makes this worse is that our boat was already unstable and very dangerous.


Honestly , with my group I disagree 100% because first of all , they do not know how to participate with each other , second of all none of them were committed and I would rather get eaten by sharks then get on that scary , unstable boat. My group and I would stick to one thing and then lead to another. We picked the boys to be leaders first , but then we realized that they were gonna get us killed sooner or later , we then decided that me and the other girl would be the leaders because we were both wise and open minded and we knew things that would help us survive. So coming to the conclusion , my group was very hectic and we would've DIED!

Poi Rakau


Because it is Maori Language week, we thought it would be a good idea to play some games. So today me and my class mates were playing this game called Poi Rakau. It was a game when you shout out "Whaka te Maui" meaning Left and "Whaka te Matou" meaning right. It was so hillarious seeing everyone having so much fun and learning how to say left and right in Maori. 

Thank you!
