Waitākere College

Mr Shanahan's Class of the Week

11A Sāmoan are this week's winners!


Nominated by Mrs Tausā

SAM11A is an exceptional class that consistently upholds the Fa'asamoa values of respect and care in their approach to learning. Their classroom routines are so well-established that even on the busy Arts, Cultural and Sports Photos Day, they automatically began their regular class routine and continued to work collaboratively to reflect on their first semester achievements, engaging in meaningful talanoa (discussion).
This reflective practice demonstrates the essential communication skills they will need for their upcoming 1.2 Achievement Standard. Their commitment to both academic growth and cultural values makes them truly deserving of recognition. I am incredibly proud of them all.
