“Kai ora. We have not started using the kit, but plan to this term. At OneSchool Global we are a special character school. All teaching material we use must be approved first to fit with the ethos. We had unfortunately recome the black box pepeha, the black wheel, Hero 1999 Festival programme & the Apartheid is evil notice. We will be using the rest of the kit. We have found the resources to be of high quality & so deeply informative for the students learning.”
