Polyfest a hit with the public

Share to Google Classroom

Thousands of school children from the Pacific participated at Polyfest last week.
Polyfest is four days of the best in Pacific culture, with music, food and on-stage competition.
The annual four-day celebration of Polynesian culture has attracted more visitors than ever this year.
Among the 242 performing groups is one who’s come to New Zealand from a Rarotongan high school for the very first time.
On Friday, Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern became the first Labour Prime Minister to attend Polyfest.
“We will be a nation where one-in-five in the future will be Maori or Pasifika – that is who we are,” she said.
Did you go or participate in Polyfest?
