Enacting  our values of  aroha, respect and communication, we celebrated Cook Island language week at the centre. Cultural diversity is promoted where we see each and very child  and their  families culture is celebrated within our centre programmes.

Our Tamariki and Kaiako looked beautiful and elegant in an island style attire and a huge thank you to our  Everglade whanau who also were part of this celebration. Linking to tapasa document  turu 1, this celebration showed evidence of  our centre  Kaiako are demonstrating  awareness of the diverse and ethnic-specific identities, languages and cultures of Pacific learners.

We have cultural richness in our centre which makes us so bright and colorful Beststart Everglade Centre.  Diversity makes us special beautiful and strong.
