One of the many things I love about New Zealand is the vibrant and exciting array of multiculturalism. I am lucky that at Hornby High we have many different cultures. As a musician I love to learn about traditional song and dance. I love that the Pacific Islands are represented by different forms of music and dance and also food! This week is Tongan language week. We are lucky to have a wonderful community of Tongan families and I have many Tongan students in my music classes. This week we had senior assembly, this was an awesome opportunity to showcase students performing a traditional Tongan song. I am always proud of my students when they get up and perform, especially in assemblies as it is not easy! It was an awesome performance celebrating the music and language of Tonga!
