Tell Me Your Story

Today we finished our integrated-inquiry on NZ history and how the past shapes the future. Mrs Tito came in to tell us about the murals on our school buildings and the migration timeline. Now it is our turn to tell our story. How has our history contributed to diversity in NZ?

Immigration


Purpose: The paintings were done to reflect the different diversities in our school. These were done in 2011 before Mrs Tito retired.
