Class of 2020

This year, the Tongan Polyfest group prepared two dance performances for 2020 Polyfest. Thirty students worked hard, practising for six weeks, five times each week for several hours each time. Unfortunately, less than a week before the performance date, the festival was cancelled due to the pandemic. However, we were excited and proud to perform at the PHS Fiafia night in front of our families and friends.

Our first dance was the traditional Tau’olunga which was performed by our senior girls. We closed the night with the Ma’ulu’ulu, performed by the whole group – both girls and boys, juniors and seniors. Each performance was choreographed to not only portray the story of the song, but also to show the grace and skill of the performers. Both dances were performed at a high standard, thanks to all our hardworking parents and the teachers who helped us along the way. Special thanks go to our tutors, Olinga Lutui and Eseta Veanui.

We plan to enter Polyfest in 2021 as competitors and show the skill and passion of the Pukekohe High School Tongan group.
