During the evening we introduced key staff available to support our Pasifika students at school: - Elaine Webb - Deputy Principal: - Seán Finan - ICol - Pasifika Success: - Ulata Hurt - Pacific Liason: - Savali Tafi - Pacific Support, PE and Health teacher: The evening was very productive, with discussions about what we hope to achieve to provide additional opportunities to share and celebrate all Pacific cultures. One of our goals is to promote Pacific Language Weeks throughout the year, with whole school activities, crafts, performances, and shared lunches. To do this successfully we need some support.

GBHS will host a fono each term. Please get in touch with anything you would like to see discussed/presented, or how you would like the fono facilitated.
