For Tonga Language Week this year, we are excited to share the theme

Ko 'etau hiva, ko e fe'unu mahu'inga ia ki he mo'ui 'a e Tonga | Our music is a vital strand of our Tongan culture

We celebrated on Tuesday 18 August with friends from Ashburton College, our whānau, friends and supporters. We enjoyed performances by Rolleston College and Ashburton College Tongan students, and enjoyed Island-style BBQ takeaway, prepared by our families! Mālō 'aupito to everyone who contributed to the preparation and cooking of the beautiful kai.

You can watch the performance on YouTube here.

Mālō 'aupito to everyone who bought a ticket and those who made donations – this will support our outreach trip to Tonga in 2027!

We had a wonderful evening celebrating with everyone and can't wait to do it again.
