Pasifika Homework Club

By Kent Twaites | Posted: Wednesday November 19, 2025

As the academic year and Homework Club come to an end, I would like to introduce Jenny Bennett.

Jenny has been instrumental in bringing in a programme run, in essence, by the University of Otago Health Science Division that sincerely supports Pasifika students and their potential pathways into Health Sciences.

Jenny also teaches our Pasifika Junior Homework Club, focusing on numeracy and literacy. Her work has been inspirational, as I have seen the fires of potential being lit in the eyes of our Pasifika boys.

A big thank you to Kelly Kinghorn, who provides us with a venue, actively supports Pasifika, and helps with school Facebook posts—particularly during Language Weeks.

Award recipients for 2025 were Viliamu Malae, for excellence in attendance, and Ethan Briggs, for perfect attendance — an outstanding effort!

We look forward to continuing the mahi in 2026. Congratulations to the boys on receiving their participation certificates.
