“While the website was not fully completed when we did this kit it was a great resource for students. I did it with year 9 students and some parts were above their level, but if we sat and took our time it was great to see their understanding grow.”

“The Aotearoa NZ Histories School Kit was an exciting surprise! It was fun to explore the resources before sharing the kit with the class as a lesson. The students enjoyed learning about the past and brought up good research skills and conversations as they explored the different images/ areas/ pepeha.”
