Tonga High School Ex-Students Web Site Newsletter |
WORDS FROM THE WEBMASTER & OUR NEWSLETTER EDITOR:
Welcome to the THSESWS monthly newsletter for the month of June 2002. First of all, we must apologise for the delay in publishing this newsletter. As usual, we just ran out of time. It has been a very busy month for both the webmaster and the editor and hence the delay in bringing to you the June edition. Nevertheless, we managed to find a bit of spare time to bring to you the latest news regarding our ex-students. This month's newsletter is dominated by the news from New Zealand in regards to the 55th birthday celebration. By now, you are probably aware or have heard a lot about the school's birthday celebration, in fact the celebration in New Zealand was out of this world. It was an event marked by generosity, willingess to help others, happy gatherings of ex-students and especially former classmates, great organisation and the warm welcoming of each member of other chapters by the New Zealanders. For New Zealand, the legacy of their fantastic work lives on.
The bar has been raised by New Zealand and it will be a tough task to beat. However, as the saying goes - "there will always be someone better who will come along and rewrite old records". This is where the ex-students from the Golden Bridge enter the equation. As you all know, San Francisco will host the 56th birthday celebration next year. The pattern of having to celebrate the school's birthday abroad in every 2 years has been broken. The reason being of course is that the opening of the school's new building has been scheduled to 2004 and it is fitting enough to kill two birds with one stone by having the celebration in Tonga to coincide with the grand opening of the new building. San Francisco has started their planning for this great event and their tireless secretary who is also our newsletter editor has been at the forefront; working overtime to help the San Francisco's "working committee" in making sure that everything is done in the American way.
More often, we all look up to America for just about everything, they dominate the world economy, they are the most powerful country on earth. Their military might can wipe out the whole civilisation known to man within a blink of an eye. They do things differently from the rest of the world. For a start, they speak with a somewhat unusual accent. They say "mom" instead of "mum" and call petrol "gas" and they still use miles rather than kilometres. Frightening and unusual as they might be, the truth is - the Americans do have good hearts. They love their fellow human beings and from what I can gather so far, they are going embark on us a lot of suprises. They will not flex their muscles in fear of scaring us away, they won't use hi-tech stuff in fear of going over the top of our heads, they won't use fancy hotels in fear of making us have to look for more money to spend. They are going to make us feel more comfortable, relaxed and marvel at what they are going to present in front of our eyes. The rumours are: they are going to beat both Sydney and Auckland in more ways than one. Now, how on earth are they going to do that? Well, San Francisco is keeping all their secrets well tucked away under the Golden Bridge and they will be revealed in due course. Stay tuned folks!
We will keep an eye on what San Francisco will be doing in terms of their preparation and of course we will update you all!

THIS AUSPICIOUS OCCASION MARKS THE 55TH ANNIVERSARY OF TONGA HIGH SCHOOL, AND I AM DELIGHTED TO SHARE THE EXPERIENCE WITH YOU.
ONE OF THE FOUNDING PRINCIPLES OF ESTABLISHING TONGA HIGH SCHOOL, BY HIS MAJESTY KING TAUFA'AHAU TUPOU IV, WAS TO SELECT, NURTURE AND EDUCATE THE TOP ACADEMIC STUDENTS IN THE KINGDOM OF TONGA.
TODAY, THIS GOAL HAS BEEN ACHIEVED. FORMER TONGA HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS, ARE NOW MEMBERS OF HIS MAJESTY'S CABINET, HEADS OF GOVERNMENT DEPARTMENTS AND ARE IN MANY IMPORTANT AREAS OF TONGAN LIFE.
I WOULD THEREFORE LIKE TO THANK THE TONGA HIGH SCHOOL EX- STUDENTS' ASSOCIATION, FOR GIVING ME THIS OPPORTUNITY TO HONOUR A SCHOOL WE CAN ALL BE PROUD OF. MAY I WISH YOU A SUCCESSFUL AND JOYOUS CELEBRATION.
GOD BLESS YOU,

Sekelitali.NEWS FROM MELBOURNE:
AGM Postponed
The Melbourne Chapter's AGM scheduled for Saturday 29, 2002 was postponed until Saturday, July 13. The reason for the delay was due to so many members being busy with other things. It is also winter here in Melbourne and so many people have caught the flu. May we take this opportunity to remind all members of the Melbourne Chapter to turn up for our next meeting. It will be held at Janet Rollo's place, 5 Rose St, Gardenvale right on 12 pm sharp.
