Three of our Tongan Boarders Mesui Tufui (11/ME), Vuni Fifita (10/FL) and Melie Laimani (10/FL), recently visited The Metro Rehab Hospital in Petersham, where they performed three Tongan songs and hymns for the elderly patients. Each song chosen brought with it a message of hope and inspiration that was eloquently introduced by Mesui, who acted as compere on this occasion.

Those who have been priveliged to hear these boys sing at assembly and chapel services will know what a real cultural treat it is to hear these young men sing with such passion and amazing harmonies.

The Metro Rehab patients were equally in awe of their voices and expressed their sincere gratitude to the boys for so generously giving of their time. This was an example of Service Learning at its best, where both the givers and recipients derived equally valuable but different rewards from a shared experience!
