Inspired by the courage and wisdom of Pacific navigation, Matamoana charts a course for empowering Pacific families and communities to support their children’s learning.

This milestone reflects years of collaboration, research, and innovation. At its heart, Matamoana shows how government agencies can share power with Pacific communities, privilege Pacific values, and create culturally safe spaces where identity, language, and culture thrive.

The document is built on a body of evidence with Pacific families, revealing what works: strong relationships, flexible delivery, and a commitment to equity.
