Tongan Group<br />
The Mangere College<br />
Tongan group consisted of<br />
70 engaged students this<br />
year, many of whom had<br />
been part of the group last<br />
year. This was a bonus for<br />
the group in reconnecting<br />
and developing a more<br />
passionate approach to the<br />
traditional dances.<br />
The group had another successful<br />
year despite not gaining first place<br />
and the group were still happy they<br />
were placed. For the Ma’ulu’ulu<br />
(combined sitting performance) they<br />
were placed third and for the Soke<br />
(combined stick performance) they<br />
placed second. Congratulations to<br />
first place winner for the Year 10<br />

language teacher Ms F Bloomfield<br />
for attending most Tongan group<br />
practices and the support of Mr V.<br />

We were honoured and grateful to<br />
work again with the dynamic duo<br />
team Punake (Tutors)of Mr Paane<br />
Alofi and Vili as well as their families<br />
who assisted in drumming and<br />
teaching the dances. Both Punake<br />
have developed positive relationships<br />
with the students and their parents.<br />
As well as inviting the son of late<br />
Tongan Punake Peni Tutuila- Siola’a<br />
who helped communicate both in<br />
Tongan and English which added<br />
so much value to the students’<br />
understanding of the rich lyrics and<br />
traditional performances.The <strong>MC</strong><br />
Tongan group would like to thank<br />
all our families and supporters for<br />
another successful year.<br />
