Manuia le Vaiaso o le Gagana Samoa

Ilo, Telesia and Tamari performing a Siva Samoa
Pictured are Ilo, Telesia and Tamari performing a Siva Samoa (traditional Samoan dance) at our Variety Show last week. The song they chose for their Siva was 'Falealili Uma’ which has special significance to Telesia because this is where her Grandfather’s Matai title and her Great Great Grandparents came from.
They also performed a cultural dance for Primary students in the chapel.
Over the course of Samoan Language Week, Primary students learned the basics of Samoan sasa dancing and tried composing a group sasa dance which can be performed in a seated position.
Malo lava (well done!)
