We also have unwritten rules, held within our conscience, constantly reminding us to “depart from evil and do good.” If you are struggling to adhere to or comply with the rules, please reach out to the Leadership Team for guidance and support.
Ko etau ngaahi Tuutuun, oku ikai taumua ke fakapopula mo fakafaingataaiai a e mou; ka oku kaveinga p ke fakamopoopo, fakatauatina mo fakamoui.
The rules are not meant to bind or constrain you; they are there to guide you, protect you, and empower you to grow into a stronger, more disciplined individual. They are meant to set you free, not hold you back, and to help you flourish in every aspect of your life.
Your Classroom Environment
1. Cleanliness is next to Godliness.
Ko e Angamaa oku ofi taha ki he anga faka-Otua. (Keep your classroom nice and clean all the time. Dont litter. Put all rubbish in a bin!)
2. Love your neighbours as yourself!
Ofa ho kaungaapi hange ko ho ofa iate koe! (Dont take other peoples things without asking first. Please return to the rightful owner what is not yours. Treat your fellow classmates with love and respect.)
3. Treat your classroom with love and respect.
Tauhi ho lokiako aki a e ofa mo e fakaapaapaia. (Your classroom is your learning center. Treat the doors, louvres, blackboards/whiteboards, desks, and chairs etc. with care. Other people have made sacrifices to buy you these equipment and furniture to enhance your study. Be grateful and treat them as yours with respect.)
4. Fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge.
Ko e apasia Otua ko e kamataanga ia o e poto. (Whatever you do, do it with reverence for God.)
5. Depart from evil and walk in His light.
Hola mei he kovi; lalaka he Ene maama. (Whatever is true, noble, right, pure, lovely, admirable, praiseworthy think about such things.)
Your School Environment

Ko ho api pe mo eni (Toloa). (Your school family here loves you and is willing to help you if you let them.)
2. Rubbish is everyones business.
Ko e veve, ko e ngue kotoa pe a kitautolu. (Please help keep your school clean and green. Dont throw your rubbish around. Pick up any rubbish you meet on the way.)
