This year, you will look at the importance of life as a Sāmoan (Tama Sāmoa), breaking down family genealogies, unpacking cultural aspects of Sāmoa through learning about the way of life in Sāmoa and comparing to way of life in New Zealand. There is also a heavy emphasis on Sāmoa's history and gaining knowledge of our past historical events as well as the use of our surroundings in everyday Sāmoan life.
