Each year, our school proudly celebrates Cultural Week. This vibrant event is a highlight of the school calendar, showcasing the rich diversity within our community.
Throughout the week, flags representing various countries are displayed across the school, and a range of cultural performances took place under the bridge during lunchtime. These performances, delivered by different cultural groups, are always a hit with students and staff alike, creating a lively and inclusive atmosphere.
Cultural Week is a time to celebrate diversity, embrace different cultures, and take pride in our heritage. In addition to the performances, the week features a cultural mufti day and whānau cultural displays.
This year, cultural mufti day consisted of students dressing in cultural attire to earn points for their whānau as part of the ongoing competition for the whānau shield.
The theme for this year’s whānau cultural display was ‘Legacy’, focusing on the unique legacies of each whānau. Every whānau cultural team contributed to decorating and setting up displays in their respective areas. These displays were judged by the senior management team, and the most outstanding display was awarded the cultural cup.
We are proud to announce that the 2025 Cultural Cup was awarded to Discovery whānau for their exceptional creativity and representation of their cultural legacy.
A huge thank you to all students, staff, and whānau who contributed to making cultural week a meaningful and memorable event. Your creativity, pride, and teamwork truly brought our school’s values to life.
