For one week, we will have a special exhibition of some high quality work achieved by Remarkables Primary School students.

These students visited us earlier this year as part of a collaborative inquiry project, with an LEOTC programme focussing on War Heroes. After being inspired by our programme, students then researched and designed project display boards which focused on different war-related topics. A sample of these have been put on display in the foyer of our museum. Make sure you stop by for a visit!

If you are interested in learning more about War, the museum will be hosting its own exhibition to commemorate the WWI centenary. WWI and the Wakatipu will be open to the public from the 25th October 2014 until the 15th February 2015. Accompanying LEOTC programmes for students years 1 - 13 will be made available.All programmes will focus on themes of community and how people respond to community challenges, causes and effects of war and how it has shaped the lives of Wakatipu people today and during the war. All programmes have links to the social sciences strand of the New Zealand curriculum.

Contact the Lakes District Museum & Gallery today to learn more about these programmes!
