Le Mana Pasifika

Over the last 10 weeks, a number of students across the college participated in the Le Mana Empower Pasifika program. The program aims to empower Pasifika youth by developing their leadership skills and supporting their engagement in education.

The students met weekly and worked on the following;

• how to develop a sense of belonging and pride at school
• strategies to enhance positive learning goals and outcomes
• how to build positive peer group interactions
• how to build resilience in overcoming personal challenges
• strengthening their cultural identity

Our Pasifika students supported one another and worked together to put on a fantastic showcase. The students shared their cultural understanding, their love of family and the pride they have in identifying with their Pasifika heritage.

The showcase was amazing and as a college, we are extremely proud of the effort and commitment shown by all students in the program.
