Talofa lava! Tautua mo Tupulaga is simply defined as Serving our Younger Generation.
We are exceptionally fortunate in being able to provide Samoan bilingual units from Year 1 - Year 8 to meet the needs of our Samoan students and community.
Tautua mo Tupulaga provides our Samoan students with the opportunity to maintain their culture and extend their language within a Samoan bilingual setting.
Within the Samoan bilingual unit the Samoan language, culture and protocols are celebrated and valued throughout the whole school.
Teaching and learning programmes are planned in consultation with Samoan students and community.
Tautua mo Tupulaga are a separate team in the school but integrate into the mainstream school for professional development and schoolwide activities.
