🌲✨ Meri Kirihimete from Solomon Group ✨🌲

As 2025 comes to a close, we want to acknowledge every person who chose to learn, grow, and take a step toward a brighter future with us this year. Your commitment inspires us every day. We’re also deeply thankful for the whānau and communities who stand alongside us — your support makes all the difference.

We hope this Christmas season brings you rest, connection, and moments of joy 🌟Here’s to a bright and hopeful start to 2026 — a year filled with new possibilities, fresh goals, and the chance to grow even further.

This week we’re celebrating Solomon Aelan Pijin Evridei — Solomon Islands Pidgin Language Week 💛💙💚 A time to recognise the language, stories, and culture of Solomon Islanders here in Aotearoa.

Pijin is spoken every day across the Solomon Islands — connecting families, carrying history, and keeping identity strong.

This year’s theme, “Protektim langguis an kalsa blong yumi” (Protect our language and culture), reminds us how important it is to keep Pijin visible and valued for future generations.

Want to join in? Here are a few simple ways to celebrate:
• Learn a new Pijin phrase — try “Tagio tumas” (thank you very much)
• Explore Solomon Islands music, stories, or art 🎶
• Support Solomon Islands communities and events happening this week
• Use Pijin greetings in everyday conversations

Language keeps culture alive — and we’re proud to stand alongside our Pacific learners and whānau as we honour Pijin this week.
