Cette dernière mois il y avais beaucoup d'attention des commemorations pour le jour d'ANZAC. 2014 marks the 99th anniversary of the devastating Gallipoli campaign, and New Zealand’s involvement in the war beginning.
This month I went to an exhibit at the Dunedin Public Art Gallery that showed photographs of ANZAC cenotaphs, taken by Laurence Aberhart.
It was strange to think that in almost every town in New Zealand (and Australia) there is a cenotaph with a collection of names of those...
Chiara and Soukeina tell you about their research on New Zealand nurses and prostitutes during the Great War.
Comment les Parisiens ont-ils vécu la guerre de 1914 - 1918?
Le reportage inédit d'un millier d'images réalisé par le photographe Charles Lansiaux (1855 - 1939) donne un témoignage exceptionnel de la vie de tous les jours pendant toute la durée de la guerre.
During our French trip in April 2014 I discovered this wonderful photo exhibition in Le Marais, organised by la Marie de Paris - completely par hasard! Charles Lansiaux is a photographer whose pictures were purchased by la Bibliothèque...

Louvent and Marcellin give their "mid-project presentation" to the class (selection of topic, difficulties and ideas for their final product).
Hello again!
Its been a whole month already. I have unfortunately been snowed under with school work and as much as I hate to admit it, Young Ambassadors has taken a bit of a backseat! I will make sure that this won’t happen too often and that I keep chipping away at my project.
Over the past week I have been getting in contact with local papers to promote the sharedhistories site and Young Ambassadors trip. I am hoping that they will get back in contact with me soon so I can share what we...
The last couple of weeks I have been busy working towards completing a history research internal assessment - a very long but worthwhile process. I was luckily able to work this internal in parallel with my Young Ambassador inquiry, meaning that over the month since my last blog entry, I have been able to kill two birds with one stone. The outline of the history internal is to “research one historical event or place that is of significance to New Zealanders.” I stated the aim of my research...
Salut à tous!
I would like to start off by thanking the Awapuni Rotary and Milson Rotary Clubs from Palmerston North for their very generous donations towards the cost of the Young Ambassadors trip. It is much appreciated, and I look forward to speaking to them about the trip and my project outcomes.
On the 18th of March, the Manawatu Standard published an article about the Young Ambassadors Tour. I have included a picture of the article above. There is an important correction I would like to...
Bonjour tout le monde!
Firstly, thank you to everyone for all the help and support I have received so far. The amount of positive feedback and support I’ve had from students, teachers, schools and my local community has been overwhelming and it’s a privilege to be representing you all!
For me, the last few weeks have been pretty busy, as my Young Ambassador’s Project has started to get into full swing. Following my article in The Southland Times, I had an incredible response from people in my...
We are starting to work on our book project and classes in English, French, German, Art and History will be busy over the next two terms getting work on our focus completed. We are going on a month long tour to France starting Wednesday April 9th and we will be visiting the NZ war graves and Somme battlefields to visit the graves of former PNBHS Old Boys who died in the Great War serving NZ. This will also form the basis of some of our project work with our partner school in Hirson.
