“Fakatūleva e Vagahau Niue mo e Tau Aga Fakamotu ma e Tau Atuhau”
Sustain Niue Language and Culture for Future Generations.
Fakaalofa lahi atu – this week is Niuean language week.
This week is Niuean Language Week, and did you know that Niue has the world’s largest raised coral atoll?
In New Zealand, 12% of the 30,867 Niueans speak the language. However, only 7% of children under 15 speak Niuean, which is a concern for the future of the language.
As a class, we acknowledge and recognise different ethnic cultures, within in our school. As part of our cultural responsiveness, we research in depth Niue, it’s customs, culture and its people.
One of our outstanding students, Meki, will now introduce himself in Niuean. Check this out!
