Manuia le Vaiaso o le Gagana Samoa
Happy Samoan Language Week to our netball community 🩵
The theme for Samoan Language Week 2026 is:
‘E afua mai i mauga tetele manuia o le nu’u’ – From the high mountains come the blessings of the village.
These “high mountains” represent the elders and leaders within our families and communities. Their wisdom, sacrifices, and guidance continue to shape and bless the generations that follow.
A love for sport is one of these blessings. It is often nurtured by parents and elders and passed down through generations. They create strong, harmonious families and lead by example, showing us the values of respect, commitment, and unity.
The knowledge and experiences of our parents, ancestors, and elders are invaluable. They teach young people the skills and qualities needed to grow, not only in sport but in life.
By playing the sport we love, we honour the passion and dedication of those who came before us. We embrace the opportunities they have created and carry forward their legacy. In turn, we also give back by supporting and uplifting the next generation, just as we have been supported.
