Our Work

We provide meaningful opportunities for educators to deepen their practice and grow as culturally responsive professionals.

Through tailored workshops, training programs, and networking events, we support educators to build the knowledge, confidence, and cultural capability needed to effectively engage Pasifika learners. These initiatives foster inclusive, strengths-based learning environments where Pasifika students feel seen, valued, and supported to thrive.

APEN offers bespoke consultancy services to drive positive change for Pasifika learners across the education sector.
Led by experienced Pasifika educators, researchers, and advocates, our team delivers tailored guidance, strategic advice, and culturally grounded solutions that strengthen cultural responsiveness and equity within educational institutions. We work collaboratively with schools, universities, and organisations to embed practices that centre Pasifika perspectives, foster belonging, and improve student outcomes.

We actively champion educational equity for Pasifika communities across Australia.
Through policy advocacy, sector engagement, and public discourse, APEN works to influence systemic change that benefits Pasifika learners and educators. We contribute to education reform through formal submissions, lead national conversations via our bi-annual conference, and raise awareness through media commentary and strategic partnerships — spotlighting the disparities and barriers that continue to affect Pasifika communities in education.

Free Educational Support for Pasifika Learners and Communities

We provide accessible, no-cost guidance to support Pasifika students, families, and communities at every stage of the education journey. From early learning to higher education, our advice is tailored to enhance access, participation, and academic success — empowering Pasifika learners to thrive within the Australian education system.
