🏆 WHS PASIFIKA AWARDS 2020 🏆

The 2020 WHS Pasifika Awards was a colourful, joyous occasion celebrating our Pasifika students. 🎉

It was hosted by our Heads of Pasifika for 2020, Dennihe Edwards and Jacob Brown, who did a fabulous job.

We were very privileged to have Sosoli Tawadalua (nee Tofu) as our guest speaker who talked about her journey from Whanganui High School to becoming a Black Fern Women Rugby Representative. She spoke of how following her dreams helped to inspire others around her.

There was lots of entertainment including singing and Pasifika dancing. A Taualuga was performed by our Year 13 leavers to end off this wonderful evening, which included parents and family members joining in.

Our Prestigious Awards of the night went to:

WHS Cup for Outstanding Contribution to Pasifika, Junior – Seini Baleinukulala 🏆

WHS Cup for Outstanding Contribution to Pasifika, Senior – Matavesi Lewenilovo 🏆

WHS Pasifika Bowl for Academic Excellence – Leah Aiono 🏆
