Students in Year 12 History created a timeline of important events in the First World War for New Zealand soldiers.
Bonjour à tous!
So I’m back in New Zealand after an unforgettable trip to France! I had the time of my life with the other Young Ambassadors, creating lifelong memories and friendships in France and Belgium.
Here are some highlights from the trip.
5 jours à Paris :
On the 14th of July, we were lucky enough to be accepted as official guests to watch the Bastille Day Military Parade on the Champs Elysées. It was awesome to be part of such a wonderful event. Later that night we watched the...
This video recaps what we did with our students in the Somme!
This day trip was the most important part of our partnership with New Zealand this year. The students finally realised the impact of WW1 even today.
They really enjoyed looking for the NZ soldiers' names and took their role very seriously. Many thanks to them....
For us it's the end of the school year now and other students will be involved in the project at the beginning of September.
See you soon on Shared...
Alors il n’y a que 22 jours jusqu’à notre départ en France!
Le jeudi, j’ai passé le jour à Wellington avec les autres ambassadeurs. C’était super de rencontrer tout le monde, finalement ! Je sais que nous nous amuserons bien ensemble en France.
En visitant Wellington, nous sommes allés à la Galerie des Portraits et Te Papa. Ils étaient très intéressants. I was particularly interested in ‘The Berry Boys’ exhibit, as seeing the 30 portraits of unknown Kiwi faces of World War One was a true...
C'était fantastique de rencontrer tous les jeunes ambassadeurs du jeudi et maintenant je suis encore plus excité de représenter la Nouvelle-Zélande en France.
Over the last month my project has picked up pace and I have learned a lot in regards to my topic of the recognition of war and the role of the media. This was heavily boosted by the day we spent in Wellington and I have now three key developments I want to share.
The first involves our visit to the New Zealand portrait Gallery in...

Bonjour tout le monde!
Malheureusement Mai était un mois très occupe pour moi. J’ai eu beaucoup des activités de mon école et à cause de ça j’ai été très retard aven mon blog. Pardon à tous, et j’espère je suis plus de organise pour Juin !
Je veux un moment pour remercier le gentil peuple de ma communauté pour le support et la encouragement ils ont offert. En particulièrement je voudrais remercier La Cloche ; un café français de Wellington pour leur patronage. Ils ont été très généraux...
4th June
This evening I met a man named John MacNamara. His uncle Private Donald Wallace MacNamara, was killed in the Battle of the Somme, only 6 days before my great-great-grandfather James Livingston. Pte MacNamara has a burial at the Caterpillar a Valley Cemetary, where Livingston has his memorial. John read in the Manawatu Standard article about the Young Ambassadors Tour, that we will be visiting the Caterpillar Valley Cemetery during the trip. He contacted me through my school, and...
Bonjour!
Who is this man? The dusty kaki coloured shirt framing a tanned face and the blanched periwinkle blue of the sky in behind the camel brown tent all suggest a war. But, which one? Perhaps it doesn’t matter as much as we might think...
This man is novelist, Tim O’Brien, during his service in Vietnam, lasting from 1969-70. I am currently in the midst of reading his most critically acclaimed novel, “The Things They Carried,” which, like this photograph, presents an aspect of...
