To whom it may concern,

Ko e higoa haaku ko Raecil Faafuata. And i am a current student at Papatoetoe High School who takes Vagahau Niue. I have studied Vagahau Niue for the past two years and reason being is to explore a different culture and its aspects, also to understand its traditions and more.

I am writing to ask why our achievement standards are being kept as unit standards for this subject? I feel that all subjects should be assessed equally & think that it's really unfair that every other language can be assessed from Not Achieved to Excellence but only Vagahau Niue is assessed from Not Achieved to Achieved. There is more of a chance that the Niuean language will be used in the South Auckland population than Japanese, Spanish & more. There are several students that perform and complete assignments at different levels from others and with the unit standards, we will all get the same marks & do not know where we truly are with our results. Like whether we performed at an achieved level or at an excellence level.

Great work so far Sisi...keep it up:)

raecil keep it up :)
