| Samoan Language Week 2026 |
Vaiaso O le Gagana Samoa took place in Week 8 of Term 2. This year, our official theme is the powerful proverb: "‘E afua mai i mauga tetele manuia o le 'nu'u" or, "From the high mountains are the blessings of the village." For me, this theme is a clear, concise reminder that the blessings we enjoy in our community—our strength, identity, and belonging—are a direct flow from the high places: the unwavering foundation of our faith, the sacred wisdom of our ancestors, and the enduring strength of our culture.

"‘E afua mai i mauga tetele manuia o le 'nu'u" or, "From the high mountains are the blessings of the village." For me, this theme is a clear, concise reminder that the blessings we enjoy in our community are a direct flow from the our faith, family and our ancestors. This strength is visible in the power of our collective and togetherness, which I believe is the very heart of our culture. The mountain itself is a spiritual and physical pillar in the village, representing stability and being the essential source from which all blessings flow.

For us here at school, our faigaoga (teachers) embody these mountains. They stand as guiding pillars, much like our ancestors and the constant, unwavering prayers of our parents and grandparents, providing the foundation that nourishes our nu'u (village).

Samoan Language Week 2026 at Tāmaki College has been a beautiful celebration of faith and culture. The week began with a sacred blessing and a formal flag-raising ceremony to open our festivities. Our Au Siva Polyfest group represented us with pride, performing at the Manaiakalani Teacher Only Day and the Te Oro Music and Arts Centre to share our heritage with the wider community.

Students also showcased their passion and house spirit during the annual Siva Samoa House Competition. All these events reflect our theme, showing how our faith, ancestors, and traditions serve as the steady mountain that nourishes and strengthens our entire village.
