“This kit has been a great way to introduce students to various aspects of NZ history. We have used it as a launch into an in-depth look into the Land March, and also for students to investigate various protest movements using the cards, artefacts and website. There is a lot in here and we will continue to embed more cards into a variety of units as we develop our ANZHC further Thanks School Kit!”
