It was an amazing experience for Aorere College to be represented at the Auckland premiere of 'Tenor - My Name is Pati', the new documentary featuring two of our very own Aorere alumni - Pene and Amitai Pati! 

This incredible film traces an inspiring journey from the streets of Mangere to the world's most prestigious opera houses. It was a nostalgic trip down memory lane for us, as the movie features footage of the boys' time right here at Aorere. 

 We were honoured to play a part in the premiere celebrations as our current students shared their vibrant Samoan culture with everyone in attendance. After the performance, we had the privilege of watching the film together, and hearing directly from the man himself, Pene, was the icing on the cake! 

 We couldn't be prouder of our alumni and the legacy they are building. This is a story of passion, hard work, and staying true to your roots. 

Go watch it—you won't be disappointed!

Look out for our Aorere College Foundation movie night fundraiser date next term. 'Tenor - My Name is Pati' movie showing, performances, food, and refreshments, where we will enjoy viewing together our amazing alumni's journey. All fundraising proceeds are to support current students' extra-curricular endeavours and to provide scholarships. https://aorere.ac.nz/#foundation
