As part of the preparation for the Wellington Trip, the Year 7/8s have been learning about our past and present

Every year in the weeks leading up the Wellington Camp, the Year 7/8s learn about:

• Parliament - What is it? What are the key roles? How does a government work?
  
• The Treaty of Waitangi - Why was it signed? What was agreed too? What does it mean for today's world?
• World War One - How did it start? Why did NZ get involved? What happened at the Battles of Gallipoli/ Passchendaele?

All of this forms the basis of the student's knowledge so that when they visit Parliament, National War Memorial and the National Archives they understand more about it.

Here are some examples of learning:

• Warisha
  
• Tanika
  
• Natasha
