Tuia 250 Encounters exploration with Year 11 History

Mrs Riepl —

The Year 11 History class has been working hard on looking at different perspectives surrounding the arrival of Captain Cook in New Zealand 250 years ago. Groups have been researching various aspects of these first encounters between his crew and Māori in 1769. An excellent School Kit resource with so many pieces of evidence and links has helped us to explore the old ways in which this history has been taught in contrast with post colonial perspectives on it. Here are some of their interactive museum exhibits in Girton.
