A New Zealand education provider has celebrated over 100 graduates this week in early childhood education - all of whom are of Pasifika heritage.
The graduates from New Zealand Management Academies in Manukau have completed their level 4 ECE home-based certificate.
The majority of the graduates come from the Tongan community, which led to the decision for the graduation ceremony to take place at the Lesieli Tonga Auditorium, with Tonga's Princess Mele Siu'ilikutapu Kalaniuvalu Fotofili in attendance.
Sela Jane Hopgood was at the graduation and filed this report.
