Ladies and gentlemen,

1. I am delighted to be here with you all this morning to open the 2023 Teachers Conference. 

• We are here as education stakeholders to reaffirm our commitment to improve and strengthen  our education system by reflecting on the challenges we overcame and as well acknowledge the many opportunities that had made us grow as individuals and as a collective body of educators during the academic year 2022.   

• The theme of this year’s conference – “team work builds excellence” is timely because more than ever, in our journey as educators we need to be working and collaborating as a TEAM! It is the only way we can ensure our goal of assuring quality teaching and learning is afforded to all students irrespective of where he or she attends school.

John Donne’s famous quote ‘no man is an island’ is a reminder that as individuals we can only achieve for today, but together we can influence the future. As such, we – the Ministry, principals, teachers, parents, school committees and communities, need to stop echoing the blame mantra and work as a team with a focus to effect positive outcomes for the betterment of every school in Samoa.

Let us not forget that our purpose is to guarantee that our young peoples’ education adequately equips them with the tools to be active participants in the current and future development of Samoa, and become leaders themselves, who will target positive outcomes for their families, churches, communities and Samoa as a country .

Our collective experiences during the Covid-19 pandemic further demonstrate and give life to this year’s theme’. We combined our efforts as teachers, principals, parents/guardians, school communities and Ministry to ensure that our children were safe, healthy and educated. 

An important part of being a team is looking out for and caring for each other!  I am happy to see that this year’s program includes a sessions on Health and Wellbeing because we need to be reminded that we are not just teachers, we are parents, husbands, wives, daughters and sons.  A happy teacher knows how to manage and balance his/her home and work life. Stop stressing unnecessarily over small things, and focus on the big picture and never forget to laugh!

To close, I would like to acknowledge with gratitude the continuous support from our development partners.

Thank you also to our local business community, NGOs, church organizations and individuals who continue to work with us in promoting our collective vision of assuring quality education for all Samoans.

To the school committees, School Support Advisors, teachers, principals, parents and Ministry, lets continue to be the team of Champions who continue to work effortlessly to help shape our tomorrow.

Manuia o outou faiva manaia. Ia po uliuli o tou tino ae  malamalama la outou silasila i lavasiga o le a feagai ai i lenei tausaga.

Soifua!
