Tongan Community

Mo’ui  ‘a e kainga, mo’ui ‘a e fonua

Malo e Lelei

SPC is proud to have a thriving Tongan community, with a dedicated parents’ committee supporting our students in their educational journey and cultural identity. Together we celebrate achievements, plan events and lead initiatives like Polyfest, SPC Fair Tongan Food Stall and Tongan Language Week to share our culture with the wider school community. The meetings, held twice a term, provide a space to connect and work together to support our students to be the best they can be. All Tongan families are welcome, come and be part of something special.
