Our language is a vital part of our Tongan culture. 🌺
AGGS opened Tongan Language Week with hymns, prayers, action songs, and speeches in Tongan, a service led by our incredible Year 12 and 13 Tongan classes.
Joined by Principal Ngaire, Deputy Principal Helen Long, Enrolment Officer Lilly Stowers, and Student Services Director Maggie Hames, the service shone a light on the importance of empowering our fānau to embrace and practise our cultural customs in lea faka-Tonga.
A celebration of language, culture, and pride.
