First Language Maintenance

​

To maintain Tamil, our mother tongue, the language is taught from Year 1 and continues up to Year 13 and there are all levels of learners. All the material used to teach Tamil are especially ordered in from overseas as it is unavailable here.

​

Culture Maintenance

​

As part of maintaining the Tamil culture and to encourage children to develop confidence, dance is taught after class on a regular basis. All students, from the play school, to the older children take part. We also perform at several Tamil programs and Auckland City events on a regular basis. These programs include Refugee Council of New Zealand Multicultural day, Auckland City Council Diwali Festival and International Multicultural Day.
