Last Tuesday we had our third visit from Riccarton High School’s Pacific Studies students. They are researching a range of topics relating to the Pacific region for their NCEA assessments at Level 1, 2 and 3 under the guidance of the teacher, Angela Bland.

The students come up with the topics themselves, and they are often very well thought out and interesting. They bring with them a wealth of cultural knowledge, which when enhanced with what they discover in the collections, can result in powerful learning outcomes. We hope some of them might come and study at UC, and be our future Pacific scholars! See the October issue of Chronicle for more.
