  1. It is wonderful to see you sharing your language and culture with your students Luti. You provide such rich knowledge and learning from a second language learner perspective that is vital to our understanding as educators. Thank you for sharing...and the Tongan lunch was a great way to celebrate Tongan language week. Well done!:-)

  2. Thank you Luti, it is great to have you as a co teacher working in our team. Celebration of the Tongan language week was just awesome. My class learnt a lot about Tongan culture and it was a great way to finish off with Tongan food, which was just amazing.
    The rich cultural experience that you provide is what our students will remember...
