Polyfest

Nick Colville —

Polyfest was held on Saturday the 16th of March at North Hagley Park.

Our kura teamed up with Mairehau High School, bringing about 80 students to the event. It was a stunning show and the performance was made up of a few different Pasifika cultures, curated and choreographed by our Y13 Pasifika Komiti. 

It was a beautiful day. Feleti Pesefea and the team gathered at school, bussed in together, and managed to secure front-row seats. From their sweet spot, students walked and visited all the different stalls. The Chop Sui and Potatoe Spirals were favourites.
