“This is such an amazing resource that it's hard to do it justice. There's so much on offer. Very in-depth and beautifully created, researched and resourced. The Year 7 felt quite challenged and put off by how sophisticated it is and it took quite a bit to unpack and model this so we did not get to use many of the resources this time around. I would definitely use it again to continue to expose them to this level of thinking, resources and expectations.”

“The content and resources were fantastic, but not really a good fit for my year 4/5 class, they would have struggled to work through the stories. Used as a whole class/small group activity.”

“Like all School Kits this one was just as amazing. This was done in a Rumaki senior classroom so the language had to be adapted but the resources in the box were useful because the students could use their own language reading the photos.”
