These seminars are run by the Center for Science and Citizenship and the activities encourage students to really think about some issues.

The Centre for Science and Citizenship Trust (CSC) works with people around the country to consider the ethical implications of scientific & technological applications on the lives of individuals and communities. Their aim is to provide opportunities for people to think deeply about these implications and empower them to have a voice in shaping a future in which all can flourish.

On Tuesday 1st March 37 of our year nine students went to the seminar, which looked at issues around Te Tiriti o Waitangi and the Declaration of Independence of New Zealand.  Students were  asked questions such as, what does it mean to sign something, can you right historic wrongs, have we got such issues right now?

It was an enjoyable day and the students appreciated the opportunity.
