WORDS FROM THE WEBMASTER & OUR NEWSLETTER EDITOR:

Welcome to the THSESWS monthly newsletter for the month of September 2002. It is encouraging to hear from our friends from all over the globe in terms of what they do in their own area. During the month of September, the THSESWS managed to persuade 'Evaloni Puniani who is currently working on her PhD thesis in Canada to take care of our spiritual needs and therefore she has written a few spritiual messages for us on our forum. Everyone is encouraged to go in and read 'Evaloni's posts on the forum. However, if you don't have access to the forum then feel free to go and register then email Loseli, giving him your login details so your account can be activated.

It was also very pleasing to receive an email from Dr. Uili Fukofuka informing the THSESWS of their willingness to supply us with news regarding the Executive Committee in Tonga and the current school. However, the THSESWS still have not recieve any news from Tonga yet. In this day and age, one would think that communications would be much easier but so fat it has not been the case. Despite of this lack of communication from our friends in Tonga we will still try our best to bring to you any news concerning our global community.

Faka'apa'apa atu

Loseli M Hafoka and Miss 'Amelia Piutau

NEWS FROM MELBOURNE:

Everything is fine and the weather is beautiful so as the fauna and flora of the landscape. It has been a long time since the Melbourne chapter's last "get-together" and it probably now is a good time to gather all the faithful members of the "flock". Well, there is a meeting scheduled to the 19th of October and the Mebourne Chapter's secretaries hereby remind all the ex-students living in the state of Victoria to come along and share some quality together.

Last month, Loseli met one of our ex-students who is currently teaching at Tonga High School but on leave at the moment. Her name is Paea Vaitohi and she is enjoying Melbourne before leaving to take up her duties at Tonga High School. On behalf of the Melbourne Chapter, I would like to welcome Paea Vaitohi to the "World's most Liveable city".

Faka'apa'apa atu

NEWS FROM TONGA:

As stated on our last newsletter, there were some news from Tonga but despite numerous attempts to open their file, we were not successful. The files that we receieved from Tonga were encrypted in a format only known to our friends in Tonga and surely not our standard conventional encryption format. If however, we do get some news from Tonga then we will post them as soon as we receive them. For the time being, be optimistic!

Until Next time, so long!
