Polyfest starts tomorrow, and Green Party co-leader Marama Davidson says after two year’s of disruption the kids are raring to get on stage to celebrate their various cultures.
Last year the Auckland secondary schools cultural competition couldn’t go on because of the Covid-19 lockdown, and the previous year it was cut short because of the Christchurch mosque attacks.
Ms Davidson has a son performing as part of his school’s Niuean group - even though he has no Niuean whakapapa - which she says is an indication of the spirit the festival encourages.
