“An absolutely brilliant kit that I will be using for many years to come! We have also used the artifacts at a staff meeting to help introduce the ANZH curriculum to staff. So much thought has gone into the design of the kit and it is a fantastic resource for all. The kit generates really rich discussions and has prompted much self directed research.”

“This is such an awesome kit! All my class are totally engaged in the photos and love exploring the artefacts too. There are so many questions they ask! It has been great seeing them work as a team to investigate further then they share their findings with so much enthusiasm!. Leaning at its best I'd say! thank you so much for putting this kit together.”
