POLYNESIAN FESTIVAL 2019
Today we have had the privilege in experiencing a rich culture of song and dance along with what is close to our hearts, FOOD!!  The purpose of todays visit was to explore, appreciate, encourage and nurture the uniqueness of our multicultural society.  This years 
 theme is as follows:

"The blood of the ocean flows through me, my sustenance, my nest of higher learning, my navigator.  I am the living essence of the ocean, the living essence of the ocean in me"

We arrive at the entrance and eagerly await our entrance into the Pacific




Once we were inside it was time to explore!!
 The different stalls at the Poly Fest.  Complete an activity / task and get some freebees!!!

 We can't leave without exploring the food too!

 We even had a festive dance session of our own!!!
