Last night Otago and Southland’s larger high schools took to the stage at the 24th Otago PolyFest. Pupils from as far afield as Queenstown, Invercargill and Oamaru converged on Dunedin for celebration of everything Pasifika and Maori. The four-day festival concludes with the remaining primary schools and kindergartens today.
