I am a first-generation NZ-born Samoan, raised in the heart of South Auckland.

I am the Pasifika Catholic Principal and Director of Religious Studies of our spiritually fruitful, welcoming and blessed St Matthew’s School, Marton.

We are enriched by our faith in God, the cultures within our school and parish community, the Palmerston North Diocese, South Rangitikei Kahui Ako, MoE and all the wonderful people who are connected to our school.

Make your hopes and dreams a reality.

The Best Is Yet To Come.”
