This year's theme is Takanga 'Enau Fohe’ - Strength in Unity
In the context of Pacific education, Takanga 'Enau Fohe' serves as a guiding principle. It highlights the importance of collective effort, collaboration, and shared vision in achieving educational success. When students, families, educators, and communities unite, their combined strength propels them forward, leading to faster progress and more remarkable outcomes. Just as the Kalia stands out when its rowers are in sync, so too does a community that embraces unity in education, shining brightly as an
example of what can be achieved through collaboration and shared commitment.
This proverb encourages us to work together, support each other, and move in harmony towards our common goals, ensuring
that our educational journey is not only successful but also transformative for all involved.
