On Thursday, 14 June,Neo Taufa (Year 12) and Amelia Taufa(Year 8) had the privilege of performing a traditional Tongan dance for the King and Queen of Tonga at a high tea event at the Stamford Plaza Hotel in Little Collins Street.
Their majesties were in Melbourne to visit past Australian missionaries and educators to the Kingdom of Tonga and to express their gratitude for ongoing support for schools and churches in their country. The girls' great-grandfather, Ron Woodgate, was royal chaplain to the late Queen Salote of Tonga for many years and he was also the Principal of MLC, Kew, during the current Queen of Tonga's secondary schooling there.
The girls were absolutely delighted to have been offered this once in a lifetime experience and will cherish the momentous occasion!!
