"Te Papa"


On Friday the Senior School visited Te Papa to explore three exciting exhibitions. The visit included three areas of exploration.

Monet and the Impressionists – This is the largest and richest collection of impressionist paintings ever to come to New Zealand.
We had the rare chance to see over 50 paintings from one of the world’s finest collections of 19th century artwork.


Blood, Earth, Fire
This exhibition is packed full of information and interactivity. Blood, Earth, Fire took us on an extraordinary journey of discovery through the changing landscape of Aotearoa New Zealand.

The Glass Treaty
The Treaty of Waitangi is a living social document - debated, overlooked, celebrated. Is it a vision of peaceful co-existence and a platform on which all New Zealanders can build a future?

Hi Mr Eames
Tonight (Sunday night)on Moari tv at 8.30pm there is a tv program on called Lost in Translation. This is what it is about:
The Treaty of Waitangi is regarded as the founding document of our nation.In this 10-part series, Mike King discovers who signed and who didn’t, and talks to descendants who shed new light on what was really going on in 1840.

It is to late so that I can't see it but you might want to!

See you tomorow!!!
