Friday 16 December 2005 was a very special day for St James School.

Over 300 people attended our celebration of Pacific culture which featured a traditional Samoan umu and Samoan dances and sasa performed by each class.

The day was a wonderful celebration for our community and was the culmination of a whole school study on Pasifika, during term four.

The day culminated with a dance by the Principal ably supported by the Chairperson of the Board, the staff and other members of the school community.

All agreed that it was a great day, and demonstrated the strong focus at St James on celebrating our diversity in a spirit of togetherness.
