The proud New Zealand-born Samoan recently triumphed at the ASB Polyfest Pacific Speech Competition, supported by the Ministry for Pacific Peoples (MPP).
He took out the Year 13 Samoa Stage contest with his spoken presentation about how the New Zealand education system is not for everyone.
“In my speech, I mentioned how everyone has their own weaknesses and strengths and therefore not everyone is reaching their potential - specifically the Pacific community,” Christian explains.
