The ASB Polyfest 2011 is an iconic annual event that celebrates the pride and passion of our Maori and Pacific Island communities through song, dance, speech and art. It is a place where we celebrate youth and all that they bring to the future.
Secondary schools benefit from the festival as students take part in performing. The ASB Polyfest 2011 also provides wonderful teaching opportunities for younger students at Primary and Intermediate level.
Set up the ICT suite/Library for students to research and read about the ASB Polyfest 2011, and all that happens at this special event.
