Kia Ora and greetings to you all. My name is Tepola Fangaloka Vunga. I am your child’s teacher, and very pleased to have your child in my class this year. Looking forward to a very successful year, and I know you are too.

In SM1 we are learning two languages (bilingual languages) Tongan and English. It is vital for you to use the mother tongue (Tongan) at home to revitalize our treasure from God. This is also important to support their work in the classroom.

I have high expectations for your child, and will do all I can to help him/her achieve his/her goals. Please help me to maintain those expectations by mentoring your son/daughter periodically to make sure that his/her work is being completed in class and at home. Our class motto is "United We Stand, Divided We Fall”.
