Malo lelei, Talofa lava & Fakalofa lahi atu,
Last week we were blessed with the opportunity to learn a bit about the Tongan Culture. My health class 10rte are majority Tongan and love and embrace the richness of their traditions. During period 6, I allowed time for students to share their culture with the rest of the class by singing a Tongan Hymn. There many amazing things I have learnt about the Tongan culture but the main things that stood out for me was the theme of 'service to their country/people'. Meaning, they unconditionally offer and serve their country and their people out of love. A quote presented in briefing was "To be small but appear nevertheless" means to give what you can no matter how small it maybe. You may think you may not have a lot to offer but whatever contribution you give is appreciated and is better than nothing.
