"Fiafia Is Coming!!"


There's only one more day until Pt England School's 60th Anniversary and I am feeling excited for the BIG FIAFIA NIGHT! All I need to do is just to pray God to be with me and our school as we all perform to our families and friends. Are you all excited? All of our amazing practices applies to this one happy moment which is worth hard and memorable work. Tomorrow night at 7:00pm everything begins. I am in the Samoan group and in the band. I wonder what it'll  feel like. Feel free to come along:
Held at: Pt England School. Stage outside

Heaps of food to sell and feel free to come. Hope to see you all there.
These are some photos of the past few years of our Fiafia.

My History, My Heritage!



Before                                                              After

“OMG!!” I shouted as the historic photo of the Tamaki Presbyterian church (also the church I am a pupil of) brought a big smile to my face. This picture (above) is the real one, the real thing I have been waiting for. The first ever look of the presbyterian church on Pt England rd.

My grandfather, Rev. Lei’ite Setefano is now the minister in the Tamaki P.I.P.C standing for, ‘Pacific Islander Presbyterian Church.’  This photo is showing the corner of Pt England rd and Pilkington rd taken in 1867. My family and I are really into church. So I am writing a narrative of what my imagination thinks it might look like those days.............


On a “Roar” Sunday morning, mum cooks porridge for the kids to eat before they all leave for White Sunday. Today was supposed to a nice day, but it was stormy and rainy. The children walk to the kitchen table with their White Sunday clothes ready to eat and all ready for White Sunday. Only about five scoops of porridge and the church bell suddenly rang for everyone to go to church and get ready into their age groups.

Inside the church they went filled with hundreds of people. Joyful songs were heard as they happily walked inside and the whole church was filled with white colours and clothings. Class by class it went doing their plays and bible speeches. The heavy rain went and the sun finally came.

White Sunday came to an end and everybody felt glad. They were also served with a delightful after feast.
