Culture is...
...the way of life of a discrete group, which includes a language, a body of accumulated knowledge, skills, beliefs and values...central to the understanding of human relationships and...that members of different cultural groups have unique systems of perceiving and organising the world around them...the ways in which we have been socialised largely influence our behaviour and way of thinking as our world view.
[Helu-Thaman, 1998]

[Allen, Taleni, Robertson, 2008]
What is important is the relationship educators have with the child, parents and families; how they relate to and interact with them has an impact on engagement and increases the likelihood of an intervention being successful.
[Bishop et al., 2002]

How do we ensure key messages about learning and achievement is understood by our Pasifika learner, parents, and community? How do we build/strengthen relationships with Pasifika NGO agencies to support our work? How does our school l poli lices, system ems and processes support diverse rse lear arne ners rs?
