Overview

To mark Penina o le Moana's 5th year milestone, we are honoured to welcome Moemoana Safa’ato’a Schwenke, an inspiring tama'ita'i Samoa, international artist, and cultural leader, to host a Siva Afi workshop for our 2025 Penina cohort. This is a once-in-a-lifetime experience for our Penina to learn directly from her.

AIRPORT WELCOME FOR MOEMOANA SAFA'ATO'A SCHWENKE

We are recovering from a busy and exciting couple of weeks for our Penina o le Moana community.

Thanks to you support last week we had the honour of hosting Moemoana Schwenke, former Miss Pacific Islands and former Miss Samoa. Her welcome at the airport was super special for our Penina o le Moana girls who even got to join in on her first siva Samoa with our community here in Dunedin.

Thank you to our community elders Taupaū Sauleone & Epe Mata’afa, and a special thank you to our mana whenua Kiringāua Cassidy along with all our families who joined us at the Dunedin Airport to officially welcome Moemoana to our beautiful little city.
