Celebrating Samoan Language Week at Bonson Auckland

At Bonson Packaging, we are proud of the diverse cultures, backgrounds, and experiences that make up our team. On Friday 5 June, our Auckland team came together to celebrate Samoan Language Week, recognising the rich cultural heritage and contributions of our Samoan colleagues.

The day was filled with colour, laughter, conversation, and, of course, plenty of delicious traditional Samoan food. It was wonderful to see so many team members embracing the occasion by dressing up and taking part in the celebrations.

Sharing Culture Through Food

One of the highlights of the day was the opportunity to enjoy a selection of traditional Samoan dishes generously prepared and shared by our Samoan team members. Food has a unique way of bringing people together, and the lunch provided a chance for everyone to experience a taste of Samoan culture while spending time with colleagues from across the business.

A heartfelt thank you goes to our Samoan team for once again sharing their culture, traditions, and hospitality with the wider Bonson family. These celebrations take time, effort, and generosity, and they are greatly appreciated by everyone involved.

A Workplace That Celebrates Diversity

Events like Samoan Language Week are an important reminder of the value that cultural diversity brings to our workplace. They provide opportunities to learn from one another, strengthen relationships, and create a more inclusive environment where everyone feels respected and valued.

The photos from the day capture the spirit of the celebration perfectly. It was fantastic to see so many staff members getting involved, dressing up for the occasion, and enjoying the opportunity to learn more about Samoan culture.

Fa’afetai Lava

To our Samoan colleagues, fa’afetai lava (thank you very much) for your generosity, enthusiasm, and willingness to share your culture with us. Your contributions help make Bonson the welcoming and vibrant workplace it is today.
