Tonga High School Ex-Students Web Site Newsletter |
WORDS FROM THE WEBMASTER & OUR NEWSLETTER EDITOR:
Welcome to the THSESWS first monthly newsletter for the year 2002. First of all, I must take this opporturnity to welcome you all to another year, let's hope that this year will bring us joy, happiness and success in whatever we do in life. Let's us also include in our prayers those who have gone out of their way to do good things for others, our families, friends and loved ones so they continue to thrive and shine in God's eyes!
One of the highlights for this year is the opportunity for the San Francisco committee to actually meet His Majesty King Taufa'ahau Tupou IV at his residence in San Francisco. A chance to meet the king is an unlikely event but those who have been lucky enough to meet HRH have been very fortunate indeed. Around the same time, the president of THESA, Dr Fukofuka visited San Francisco as well. Again, the San Francisco committee jumped at the opportunity to meet Fukofuka. According to Miss 'Amelia Piutau, Uili Fukofuka was thoroughly made aware of the problems facing overseas chapters in terms of dealing with the Executive Committee in Tonga. The current communication between Tonga and overseas chapters is quite appalling and something has to be done. Take for instance the Tefua 'A Vakalautala quarterly publication, only one copy has been given to the THSESWS despite numberous attempts to get other editions of this newsletter. Logically, the global exposure provided by the THSESWS would make it easier for the Executive Committee to communicate with overseas chapters and yet this opportunity has gone begging!
Loseli is willing to do any work on the THSESWS for all ex-students and he is donating his time and services for free. All you have to do is; email Loseli with any news, information, announcements or any matter of interest to you and others so that they appear on the THSESWS. It is that SIMPLE!
Another highlight of course is the meeting between Emile Hons(former THS teacher - second from left on picture above) and others with the king. Emile took the opportunity to brief the king on other matters as well as making the king aware of the existence of the THSESWS and the excellent services that it provides to all Tonga High Schoool affiliates. Emile initially greeted the king in fluent Tongan before switching to English, the king was thrilled and according to Emile, "the king might be getting old but he is very sharp for an 83 year old" - an excellent tribute to the king's state of mind.
I must take this opportunity to thank Veisinia Tautua'a for supplying the exam results so that everyone could appreciate the hard work and achievements of our Tonga High School students. Thank you Veisinia! Finally, Sangone deserves a round of applause as well for posting the results of Form 5 on the "Lalo Kasia Forum".

NEWS FROM MELBOURNE:
Our summer has finally arrived and the weather is getting hotter and hotter each day. Due to this hot weather, each member of the Melbourne Chapter is enjoying the summer without worrying about anything else including our plans for this year. However, we will try to kick-start this year with a "get-together" soon.
To all members of the "World's Most Livable City", if you have some great ideas regarding our activities for this year then feel free to contact any of the secretaries. Stay hot Melbourne!
The Melbourne Chapter is very proud to announce that Maumau Monu has been ordained as a Minister for the Uniting Church and he and his family are now settled into their new congregation in country Victoria. Maumau is the fourth member of the Melbourne Chapter to be ordained so far. Congratulations Maumau!
NEWS FROM SAN FRANCISCO:
His Majesty, King Taufa'ahau Tupou IV was in San Franscisco during the early stages of this month. Luckily, members of the San Francisco chapter were given an opportunity to meet the king. According to 'Amelia Piutau, it was a memorable event to be able to meet His Majesty.
As mentioned above, Uili Fukofuka was in San Franscisco during the month of January and the San Francisco chapter got to meet him and discussed some interesting issues in regards to the Executive Committee and Overseas Chapters.
NEWS FROM NEW ZEALAND:
The plans for this year's celebration of the school's birthday are steaming ahead. However, the secretary and his assistant are still on holidays and therefore could not compile some news for us. Hopefully we will get some news for next month's newsletter.
