Gagana Sāmoa 

Introduction

Malo le soifua maua ma le lagi e mama.

In 2017 Fraser High School officially established our Gagana Sāmoa Course. We opened our first class with the support from our local Church Ministers and Samoan Community Leaders.

In 2020 we have now grown to the following classes:

* Year 9 Semester A & Semester B Classes

* Year 10 Class 

* Year 11, 12 & 13 Composite Class

Mr Oliva Cowley is the teacher for our Junior School Gagana Samoa Programme and Mr Soliga Si'ilata is the teacher for our Senior Gagana Samoa Programme.

We welcome all students to join the Gagana Sāmoa Course and to learn about our beautiful Samoan language and culture.

Soifua ma ia manuia

Mr Si'ilata & Mr Cowley
