Last year, we hosted Tauvu Day celebrations which was an event that connected newly arrived Fijians to the existing Fijian diaspora.

This year, we aim to continue to guide and strengthen the bonds between all Fijians whether you are NEC, student, diaspora etc.
On this day, we get to know each other better and build and rebuild connections so that we can work together and contribute to the wider Australian community and our families back home .

This event is to build that bridge or Virikawakawa.
