Polyfest reminds us all of the rich talents, treasures and spirit that we have in our community. It was an absolute pleasure to participate in this year’s event and watch our Kapa Haka, Cook Island and Samoan groups take the stage in the name of their cultural identity. They performed in outstanding fashion, and we were very proud of them. 

Our huge thanks to the tutors, staff supporters and families who have nurtured our young people. 

Thank you also to ngati toa kaumatua who supported our children on the day.
