This week marks the end of Uike Kātoanga'i 'o e lea faka-Tonga 2022 (Tongan Language Week 2022) and we have enjoyed seeing students and staff embracing the beautiful language and culture of the Kingdom of Tonga. **While it's been great that the weather has been kinder over the past couple of days, we do request that students and staff continue to wear masks for a little longer.** Sickness ratios across our student body are still relatively high and we have our practice exams coming up in Weeks 8 and 9 which are really important. We are looking forward to hearing the government decision on the traffic light framework and will continue to review our position, as needed. Thank you for your cooperation.
