Our Pacific services
Pacific learners are a priority group we serve through our work in educational settings and beyond. Beyond the early years sector, the vast majority of Pacific learners are in mainstream education. We work in any setting to have an impact on Pacific communities, either directly with Pacific learners, or indirectly via teachers and leaders.
We support teachers in effective pedagogical practice that is culturally inclusive and supports the Pacific learner.
