NZPPA-Tautai o le Moana 2021-Taula I Fanua – Anchored to land-6-9 April, James Cook Hotel, Wellington It was an overwhelming warm start to our hui with Tautai o le moana (TOLM) as I had just come back from Auckland after visiting some whnau who had lost their dad and attended my previous principal Rhonda Kelly's funeral.  Matua Jason and Whaea Helen welcomed us and we quickly began to connect with other principals. In the evening we had an amazing dinner and learned more of Pasifika customs and were presented with a Samoan floor show led by ministry staff. The siva was beautiful and we enjoyed learning more about service and generosity through Fatu.  The following outline was written by the leadership team and summarises the amazing experience we had, together. I walked away from the fono with my heart full of emotions and my head filled with ideas. It was a truly moving experience and really affirming for the mahi we have done as a school.   Day 1-Meet, greet, talanoa
