Kia ora, Talofa Lava
Ko Ngāti Hamoa toku iwi
Ko Safotu raua ko Falealopu ōku hapu
No Ta Whanganui a Tara ahau
Ko Nikolai Solia toku ingoa

It is with great honour to introduce myself as the Tumuaki (Principal) of this beautiful school. St Francis de Sales School holds a special place in my heart as this is the place where my teaching career started. And after 17 years I have finally come home and I look forward to sharing my gifts and talents once more.

Emma, my beautiful partner, and my daughter Clara, and I live in Johnsonville. Family is very important to us and I hope to grow that love of family and belonging here at St Francis de Sales School.

Outside of family, I enjoy playing and watching a range of sports (big fan of the WAH's!) and engaging with community.

He aha te mea nui o te ao?
He tangata, he tangata, he tangata!

What is the most important thing in the world?
It is people, it is people, it is people!
