Rooted to Rise is the Victoria University of Wellington Pasifika Students' Council's annual End of Year Awards and Celebration. Join us for an unforgettable evening as we recognise the outstanding achievements of our Pasifika student community and celebrate another successful year.

Inspired by the 2026 Pasifika Week theme Rooted to Rise, this year's event honours the foundations that have shaped us, our cultures, families, communities, and ancestors, while celebrating the growth, leadership, resilience, and success of our students. Throughout the evening, we will present our annual awards, enjoy entertainment, share food, and come together as a community to reflect on the year and celebrate one another.

Whether you have been involved in Pasifika student life throughout the year or simply want to celebrate alongside our community, this event is an opportunity to recognise excellence, strengthen connections, and create lasting memories.
