Tonga High School Furniture and Launch of Turbo Touch

Tonga High School is the premier government high school; however, they still are in need of school furnitures. Callum Blair (Furniture for Schools) and “Andy” presented netballs to the netball association 2 months ago at Tonga High School. While there, Callum discovered the need of desks and chairs and promised them 200 desks and chairs. This week was delivery time.

Dave Smith of Rangitoto College in New Zealand, the donor, came to Tonga for the handover. The gift was handed over to Tonga High School principal Oketi ‘Akau’ola. Through tears, she expressed much appreciation for the desks and chairs.

 

The second purpose of the visit by the New Zealand team was to launch Turbo Touch, a game incorporating rugby, netball, and soccer. It is hoped Turbo Touch will take off in Tonga as it has in New Zealand, and with the kids excited about Turbo Touch the youth will engage more in physical activity and thus aid in their fight against diabetes. Turbo Touch is an exciting, fast-moving, yet easy to learn game. Tonga High School was selected to launch the game. It is hoped they will love the game and teach it to students of other high schools across the Kingdom.
