Yesterday,
Fuatino Melegalenuu To'alepaiali'i Ah Sam passed away at Middlemore Hospital.
She was a well known figure in the South Auckland and Samoan community. She
served as Deputy Principal and as Acting Principal of Māngere College, but
she was also a Papatoetoe resident. She was also the PolyFest Samoa Stage

our ASB Polyfest Samoa Stage. Her significant contributions to Pacific language
education were recognised in 2022 when she was appointed a Member of the New
Zealand Order of Merit.
