Our Fale Pasifika is home to two classes of tamaiti (children) who identify with the vibrant cultures of the Pacific. We believe our heritage empowers us; it is the foundation upon which we learn, grow, and celebrate our identities. Fale Pasifika is more than a classroom—it is a fanau where we live our values, share our beliefs, and draw on our collective experiences to elevate our achievements as Marist Men.
We proudly celebrate and share cultures from across the Moana, including: Samoan, Tongan, Fijian, Kiribati, Cook Islands Maaori, Tokelauan, Tuvaluan, Filipino and Maaori. Our tamaiti are encouraged to represent themselves through the wearing of the ie faitaga, as a part of our official school uniform.
