It all started in 1976 were 3 students and staff members such as Mr Bill Tawhai, Mr Hone and Mrs Heni Green saw the polyfest as success. They informed other schools and met up at Hillary college and performed their items. 54 years later Polyfest still goes strong with cultures all over the world joining in, with not only dances but cultural food too. Now schools and family around the North island come to Manukau sports bowl to present and celebrate at Polyfest.
