Mountainview school had an interesting approach to their reach when they came to visit today.

The large group of students were split into three groups and rotated between different stations for research. The stations included researching at the local library, researching in our archives, and gathering information from our exhibition panels in the museum.

In the archives the students had full access to a variety of resources which included both primary and secondary material. One of the students was also a descendant of Rev. Don, who was a reverend that travelled around central otago to visit the different Chinese settlements to spread the Christian Faith during the 1800's. We had plenty of primary resources of Rev. Don to share with this student!
