Manuia le Vaiaso o le Gagana Samoa - Happy Samoan Language Week
This year’s theme for Vaiaso o le Gagana Samoa - Samoa Language Week 2021 is:

Poupou le lotoifale. Ola manuia le anofale which means strengthen the posts of your house, for all to thrive.

When you’re building a foundation for a fale (house) it can’t have a weak foundation or posts. This is the same for the foundations of our families, schools and churches that play an important role in strengthening Gagana Samoa (the Samoan Language). Language is important for the foundations of our overall wellbeing.

This week you will see Pro Sport putting the language in action.
Manuia le Vaiaso

Noaˈia ˈe mạuri gagaj ˈatakoa,

Welcome to Rotuman Language Week! Pro Sport have spent the time learning a new Culture and language to acknowledge the people of Rotuma.

The 2021 Rotuman Language Week theme is Tutur häk ne måur lelei; Four Pillars of Life which include Fak'ata (spiritual), Fakforo (physical), 'Os A'häe (psychological) and Hạikạinagaga (relationship with people).

This theme is a timely reminder that resilience is about more than just physical health – we must also nurture the other aspects that make up our entire beings. We encourage everyone to get involved and take up the Rotuman community’s invitation to nourish our Four Pillars of wellbeing.

The team joined Rugby Delivery Lead - Tidah Leaupepe out at St Francis School.

Pro Sport over the years have been by team at Nestle NZ. We are grateful to Nick Dale and his team for coming into do a Nutrition presentation and have our trainees learn about how they look after themselves with the message of Healthy Eating. We look forward to our Cooking sessions.

One of the highlights of the first quarter was being able to run our annual MSD Breakaway Holiday programme hosted at Koru School in Mangere. 4 days of fun acitvities, Quick Rip coaching, Leadership and Life Skills.

In between coaching, officiating, academic work and training the Pro Sport trainees are an integral part of the Match Day operations for Blues matches. Super Rugby Aotearoa has just completed and now we are in preparations for Super Rugby Trans Tasman.

Safety is always paramount with the Pro Sport trainees. The trainees participated in the St Johns First Aid Level 1 course to prepare themselves for tournaments and coaching throughout the year.
