Past Pupil Profile: 
Falefatu Enari (ENAFA), 1988–1990

Currently: 
Living in Auckland with Parehuia my wife. I have 3 beautiful young men for sons. I have 2 mokopuna. My mother lives with us. I am Co-Principal of Pacific Advance Secondary School (PASS) in Ōtāhuhu—the first Pasifika-led, Polynesian-centred secondary school of its kind in the World.

1. What is your favourite memory of Wesley College?
The brotherhood. Wesley gave me beautiful, safe relationships with people who helped shape me, grow me and walk through life with me. Those bonds remain very special to me today.

2. What path did you take from Wesley College to where you are now?
Two Wesley teachers, Manihera and Turuwhenua, drove me to the University of Waikato for my Teachers College interview. When I arrived, former Head Boy Likā Gaualofa was waiting for me. Those acts of care and encouragement helped set me on my path.

I became a teacher of te reo Māori and eventually a principal. Today, I lead Pacific Advance Secondary School—the first secondary school in Aotearoa intentionally designed around a Pasifika and Polynesian-centred approach to education.

3. What are you working on or enjoying right now?
I am exploring how education across Aotearoa and the South Pacific can be strengthened through AI— Ancestral Intelligence. I believe our cultural knowledge, values and ways of understanding the world can help shape a more meaningful future for education.

4. What advice would you give a current student about their next step?
Surround yourself with good people. Choose people who will encourage you, challenge you and help you grow. You will know them by their fruit—the character they show and the impact they have on others.

5. What is important to you now compared with when you left Wesley?
Relationships were of the utmost importance to me at Wesley, and they remain so today. My focus has become more intentional—beginning with my household and extended family, and then reaching outward to the communities I am called to serve.
