Topic: School in Tokelau by Elizabeth Uea

Even though Tokelau is a very small Island some of their kids gets scholarships in school like New Zealand. On a video, our class watched there was a group of kids waiting for the school boat to come and pick them up. This is how they go to school on a boat. The reason why they catch a boat is because their Island was too small so they had to build their school on a bigger Island. The school boat takes them to school and back home. Also on the video, there was a lady with a daughter who was the top student in her whole school and was most likely to get a scholarship like her mother did. Her mother said that it was good if she got a scholar and go and study in New Zealand or Australia. But her mother also wants her daughter to stay in Tokelau to be with her as a family. Because she just got back from studying in New Zealand.
