He matagi tu faka, nofonofo.
Ti tonu ho lau kafika ē.
Tau tui mo e tau alagavaka ne
Tafilu hake ki Liualagi.
Ke fua he to fa.
He matagi tu fakahake motu,
Ke fua he to fa.
Fakalofa lahi atu, my name is David Faitala. I am a descendant from the pacific islands of Niue, Samoa and from Papua New Guinea. I am married to Natalie Faitala, and we have three children, Xavier, Samsara and D’Artagnan.
My teaching philosophy centres on providing care and guidance to my students, treating them with the same dedication as I would my own children. I consider it an honour to be part of the educational journeys of those I encounter in schools. I have been fortunate to teach in diverse settings, from the picturesque shores of Rarotonga to the vibrant communities of South Auckland. My teaching career has included roles at Arorangi School, Tereora College, De La Salle, Southern Cross Campus, Wesley College, Dilworth Senior Campus, and currently, Pukekohe High School.
My personal focus is to use my experience to address challenges and to encourage the students of Pukekohe High School to live our values of Kotahitanga, Manaakitanga, Puumautanga, and Araahitanga.
