The first Pasifika school festival, or Fiafia, to be hosted on the Hibiscus Coast turned Whangaparāoa College’s auditorium into a little piece of the Pacific Islands on Friday, June 18.

The event involved performances by students of Whangaparāoa College,  Whangaparāoa Primary, Stanmore Bay School and Gulf Harbour School and was organised by Hibiscus Tuakana.

Dances from Samoa, Tonga, the Cook Islands and Niue were included, showcasing what the young people had learned from Hibiscus Tuakana through the year. Spokesperson Marina Vaha says she hopes the event will now be held annually. More photos, localmattersne.wpengine.com
