You are warmly invited to join us for our Māori and Pasifika Success Evening on Wednesday 15 October, where we will celebrate the achievements and successes of our Māori and Pasifika ākonga.  The celebration will take place in the College Auditorium. Kai will be served from 5:30 pm – 6:30 pm, followed by the evening’s programme from 6:30 pm – 8:30 pm. We kindly ask that all guests bring a plate of either sweet or savoury kai to share. This special evening is an opportunity for our staff, students, and their whānau to come together to acknowledge the hard work, leadership, and accomplishments of our Māori and Pasifika learners. Your presence and support would mean a great deal to our ākonga and their whānau. Seating at the front will be reserved for our Year 13 leavers and their families, with all other tables open for guests to sit where they feel most comfortable. We look forward to seeing many of you there as we celebrate the mana, pride, and excellence of our Māori and Pasifika students.
