This year's theme for Te Vaiaho o te Gagana Tokelau – Tokelau Language Week – is "Halahala ki vavau, kae ke mau ki pale o Tokelau" which means, "To plan for the future is to understand the past."

As usual St Paul's celebrated language week with a speaker from the culture. Natani Jr Alefaio prepared and delived an insipiring and thoughtful speech to the school assembly. As one of our Year 13 leavers, his message was especially poignant, since he is one of our students who is charting his course for the future beyond the College.
