Mrs Faleva'ai Retires

For 30 years, Ianeta Faleva'ai has taught at Owairaka School! Over 800 students later, she is leaving us. She will be sorely missed. Here are some memories and thoughts by students of Room 17.

Yesterday Mrs Faleva’ai came to school because she wanted to retire because
she was in Owairaka for 30 years. She wanted as to do an assembly. I had to make a
speech for her on Thursday 25 of June. I started to cry😭😭 at the assembly because
she was my teacher from last year.

Yesterday Mrs Faleva’ai left the school completely. She wanted to retire every year
but she stayed at school. In lockdown she told Mrs Fletcher, “I want to retire.”
So on Thursday 25 June was an assembly for her. It was a surprise. My friend, Yahya,
had to do a speech. He was crying when he was doing the speech. After Mrs Faleva’ai left,
everybody was sad 😢😭. She was in the school for 30 years.

Mrs Faleva’ai’s Farewell 

At the assembly Mrs Faleva’ai was retiring. It was a sad moment.

The whole school sang a song called Le Aute and Fa’afetai. Le Aute was a song
about flowers and making flower necklaces. The songs were sung in Samoa.

I was going to cry at the end. Mrs Faleva’ai was at school for 30 years.
