The purpose of this fono/uipaanga is to:

  • hear how the start to the year has gone for your child
  • discuss your aspirations
  • create an opportunity for you to meet some key staff who will support your child throughout their journey with us as well as organisations that focus on providing exciting opportunities for Pasifika students
  • enjoy rich talanoa over some food.


We have invited representatives from The University of Waikato, Waikato Pasifika Teachers Association and NZQA Pasifika Team to come and share their perspectives and experiences about learning and achievement.

Pacific Island food and soft drinks will be provided.
