Niue Language Week 2017

Last week on Friday the Niuean group performed at assembly as part of the Niue Language Week Celebrations. The theme for this year is 'Ko e Vagahau Niue, ko e atefua he tagata Niue'. This means that the Niue Language is the heart of Niue people.



The item began with a quick speech from Mrs Lagitupu. Then TJ gave a fantastic introduction followed by brief speeches from some of our Niuean students. Our Niuean girls danced to a Niuean song called 'Sipolo' by a group called the Island Pride Band and Glen Jackson. The boys finished with a takalo (haka). Thank you to our wonderful Niuean group and students for sharing their language and culture. Fakaue lahi!

Niue Group Item 2015

Last week we celebrated Niue Language Week by playing archived footage of old movies made by our students about the Niuean language and culture. A small group of mostly Niuean students practiced during their lunchtimes to present an item to the school at assembly. Although they did not have long to practice they did a fantastic job of sharing their culture with the school through their item.
