‘E AFUA MAI I MAUGA TETELE MANUIA O LE
NU’U’ - FROM THE HIGH MOUNTAINS ARE THE
BLESSINGS OF THE VILLAGE.

O se muāgagana lenei a Sāmoa e tele ona
fa‘auigaina pe a fa‘atusatusa i lo tatou olaga
fa‘asāmoa. Sa fāgogota foi o
tatou tua‘ā ma ‘aumai i‘a o le moana, e
taumafa i o tatou aiga ma nu‘u i a*o fai so‘o. O
mauga, laufanua, atoa ma le sami ma le
vānimonimo, e tāua tele i le olaga o le tagata
Sāmoa, auā o puna‘oa ia o le tausiga o le ola. O
le uiga o le upu afua, o le amataga po‘o le
pogai o se mea.

A Samoan proverbial expression with many
meanings if compared to the Samoan life.
Our ancestors fished the oceans as a
delicacy for our families and villages, and as
part of daily diets and nutrition. The
mountains, the land, as well as the sea and
the horizon, are important and natural
resources of the Samoan livelihood.
The meaning of the word afua refers to the
beginning of the core of something.

“Ko Kerehana ko au, ko au ko Kerehana.”

Are you a passionate educator ready to make a difference in a school that breathes identity, language, and culture? Kelston Intermediate is a unique, high-performing space dedicated to Māori and Pasifika excellence. We are seeking a dedicated, NZ-registered teacher to join our English medium Year 7-8 whānau for 2026 starting in TERM 4 this year.

Why join us? At Kerehana, we don’t just teach; we empower. You will work within a supportive learning community featuring our Māori, Samoan, and Tongan bilingual units. Our school is driven by the values of Whakaute (Respect), Rangatiratanga (Responsibility), and Whakaanga (Engagement).

What makes us unique:

The taumata system: You will lead ākonga through our unique five-tier achievement framework, fostering academic, social & cultural excellence.
Restorative heart: We utilise restorative practices to build strong, mana-enhancing relationships and navigate and nurture student hauora with the MITEY programme.
Professional growth: We provide full PLD for Structured Literacy and Mathematics to support the current curriculum refresh.
The ideal candidate: We seek a teacher who understands the hearts and minds of emerging adolescents. You will be culturally responsive, committed to Te Tiriti o Waitangi, and eager to use innovative techniques to inspire our students to become empowered global citizens.

If you are a team player who values collaboration and wishes to be part of a school where nearly 100% of our whānau turn out to celebrate learning, we want to hear from you.
