Home Our school motto is Kia Kotahi Tātou. This is our overarching focus for all our mahi at East Tāmaki School. We work together – we work as one with our ākonga, whānau and staff. We are the East Tāmaki School whānau. We have high standards and an orderly and supportive learning environment.

Welcome to Week 2 of Samoan Language Week.
We will have our celebration at the end of this week on Friday 12th June in the school hall from 1:30pm.

Happy Samoan Language Week
This week we celebrate the beauty of gagana Samoa, the richness of Samoan culture, and the strength of our Samoan community.

✨ "E sui faiga ae tumau fa'avae."
"Practices may change, but the foundations remain."

This proverb reminds us that while times change, our values, culture, and identity remain strong. It encourages us to honour our heritage while embracing the future. We look forward to continue celebrating next week.

Mālō le fa'amalosi to Ola, Tusi, Amaziah, DJ and Christian for sharing a siva and some important information at our flag raise yesterday to celebrate the start of Vaiaso o le Gagana Samoa. We are very proud of you!

Today is the start of our Samoan Language Weeks, Vaiaso o le Gagana Samoa.
The 2026 theme for Samoa Language Week is "‘E afua mai i mauga tetele manuia o le 'nu'u - From the high mountains are the blessings of the village."
We hope you can join us at 8:45am today for our flag raising, if its raining this will be in the hall. We look forward to seeing all the Samoan learners in their puletasi and lavalava over the next 2 weeks.

Enjoy the long weekend, see you all tomorrow at 8:15am.
