The world’s largest Māori and Pacific Islander school cultural festival – in pictures

Liston College performers are waiting in the wings, ready to perform on the Tongan stage. Students competing on the Māori, Tongan, Niuean, Samoan and Cook Islands stages perform a 20-30 minute set, while those on the Diversity stage – which hosts shows from across Asia-Pacific – typically perform a five-minute performance.
