New Zealand, a small island nation of roughly 4 million people and 40 million sheep has a very special culture, one that is unique and one that has had a significant impact on the modern world. Students will gain an insight into this culture and cultural phenomenon such as the Bungee jump, the Haka and the furry kiwi (though well known, will also be investigated).
Furthermore, students will examine the major events in New Zealand’s short history which has had an effect on forming the modern New Zealand way of life. Events that range from the settlement of the Maori tribes and their clashes with European colonists, women’s suffrage, and the impact of the First World War to modern sporting achievements, the Christchurch earthquake and developments in television, music and film will also be examined.
