Polynesian and Visaya Dance Groups Shine at Local Awards Event

We are so proud of our student Polynesian Dance Group and Visaya Dance Group who were invited to perform at the recent Melton Council Volunteer Appreciation Dinner. 

In preparation for the event, students dedicated their recess and lunchtimes throughout the term to rehearsing and refining their performance.

The evening provided an excellent opportunity for students to showcase their talents, culture, and commitment to the wider community. 

The ongoing partnership between SFCC Pasifika Engagement and Melton Council continues to strengthen, creating valuable opportunities for student involvement and community connection. 

The high level of student participation and engagement was a highlight of the event and reflects the positive impact of this collaboration.

Student reflections

It was a nice experience, especially showcasing my culture. Melton Council is supportive of our cultural groups and encourages our school to participate in many community events. Viliami, Year 11

It was a good experience for us to perform in a different setting. Tabcrop Park was awesome. The audience loved having us perform and my group did well. Cecilia Year 12

The people from Melton Young Communities were very helpful. We were very shy at first, but once we entered the venue, they made us feel welcome. The practices in the lead-up to the event were helpful. Emilyah, Year 12
