A Historic Return: Celebrating our Niuean Group


Fakaalofa lahi atu! For the first time in many decades, our school is proud to have a Niuean Group. The commitment and passion shown by our students in driving this group and attending practices have been fantastic. They have been incredibly eager to showcase their culture and heritage through song and dance at Polyfest 2026.

While they are a small group, they are powerful, and we hope to see them grow and flourish in the years to come.

A huge thank you to Carolina Tonga and the Tonga family—fakaaue lahi for your time and dedication to our students. Your expertise and knowledge are invaluable, and we thank you for passing on such a precious gift. The group was led brilliantly by Lavi Otia Harris and well-supported by her team. Fakaaue lahi!
