Matala Navigators presents…

“Matala ‘o e Pasifiki Arts & Culture Showcase 2025”
Theme: “Foki Ki ‘Api – Returning Home”

Join us as we journey home — “Foki ki ‘api” to celebrate who we are and where we come from through the powerful expressions of Tongan dance, song, and storytelling.

Returning home is more than going back to a place. It’s a return to our language, our values, and the stories that already live within us. Honouring the past, embracing the present, and nurturing the future

This year’s showcase is a heartfelt tribute to our families — the pillars who have supported and encouraged our students throughout their journey of reconnecting with Tongan culture.

Come and celebrate with us as our students take the stage — proud, rooted, and blooming in their Pacific cultural identity.
