How this is manifested in individual students’ lives varies but church activities may take up a lot of their time.

However in a Pasifika context, it is the showing of care and concern for others that drives students to
prioritise family events or issues or helping a friend out over completing an assignment or studying for an exam. Love for Pasifika is manifested in our actions particularly in the way we are expected to put others before ourselves. Although this is not ideal in terms of assignment deadlines and course or degree completion, it is the reality for many of our Pasifika students.
