Pasifika 

Target Road School has been on a Pasifika journey over the past 2 years. 

As a staff we have been learning about Tapasā through Tui Tuia. We have had support learning about the Tapasā Pasifika compass, the kakala model of teaching and learning, learning new games and ways to incorporate culture authentically into the classroom and we even learnt and performed a Tongan dance for our Celebration of Culture Night.

Within school we have started performance groups, celebrated language weeks, had Māori and Pasifika whānau nights, dance celebrations, pize givings, attended Poly fest and have been working towards growing and connecting with our Pasifika ākonga and community. 

This year we are working with Ulingaholo to bring Pasifika Enrichment into the classroom. Each class will be learning about the sasa and collaborating to create a Target Road School sasa. 

If you have any questions about our Pasifika learning or you would like to share you stories, knowledge, cultures please contact Stacey Roberts on  staceyr@target.school.nz
