Talofa Lava whanau!

It was a Bluetiful evening last Thursday at our Hearts & Minds workshop.

We have enjoyed learning about Love Languages and Personalities. These tools help us to understand our children’s uniqueness and learn about ourselves as well.

“We first must know ourselves, before we can understand or help others." - Florence Littauer

Keep up the great work whanau!

Hearts & Minds

Talofa whanau!

Thank you for making the time to commit to this 6-week journey together.

Here are some reflections shared by our parents during our 21st Century Skills and Learning Styles workshops:

“It’s a real eye opener.”
“From the skit, I can see the learning styles of my 2 sons.”

“I am doing the Hearts & Minds programme again because I want to learn more about my third child.”

“When children won’t learn the way we teach, then we must teach them the way they learn.”

Keep up the great work whanau! See you again this Thursday!

Session 1 is officially in the books! 📚✨

We had an incredible kickoff last Thrusday! There’s nothing quite like the energy of a community coming together to learn, share, and grow. From exploring new resources to collaborative group discussions, the vibes were 10/10!

Can’t wait to see this group back in action for Session 2 tonight!

✨ THROWBACK ✨ | Synergy Presentation Night – 27 November 2025

Looking back with pride at our Synergy Presentation Night from last November 💛

Our tamariki and rangatahi showed so much confidence, courage, and growth as they stood up and shared who they are and what they’ve learned.

SYNERGY: I KNOW WHO I AM

Praise and glory to God for our His love upon our children! Well done to all our children who shared their presentations.

Thank you for your courage to share your Whakapapa, family values, talents & gifts and dreams. We are so encouraged and inspired by our next generation, who ‘Rise UP’ and declare, “I Know Who I Am.”

Thank you to our Safiti, Moki-Sio, Sang, Sam David and Martin whanau for your commitment to our Synergy programme. It has been a joy to work alongside you all for the past seven weeks. May God continue to bless all our whanau!

✨ Synergy Session Highlights! ✨

Our whānau spent last Thursday strengthening their presentation skills — practicing confidence, exploring good communication, and giving positive, encouraging feedback to one another. We’re all getting ready for our big Presentation Night this coming Thursday! 🎉

Our educators continued building strong connections with our tamariki, supporting them to create value, make a difference, and reflect meaningfully on their learning.

Awesome mahi whānau!

🌟 Keep shining and supporting each other-see you Thursday! 🌟
