Samoan Language Week at BestStart Coronation
Samoan Language Week at BestStart Coronation Talofa lava everyone! We had a wonderful time celebrating Samoan Language Week at BestStart Coronation. The children enthusiastically embraced the rich culture and traditions of Samoa, engaging in activities such as face painting, food tasting, and singing and dancing performances.
A highlight was the impressive dance performance by students from Papatoetoe West Primary School, which was followed by delightful performances from our own BestStart Coronation children. We are incredibly proud of all the children and their fantastic efforts! We extend our deepest gratitude to the wonderful parents who joined us and enhanced our celebration.
Your involvement and enthusiasm were truly appreciated and made the event even more special.
