Oamaru Intermediate visited us for a morning of fun in Arrowtown!

The mornings activities included:

• A historic walk of Arrowtown
• A tour of the Chinese Settlement
• And gold panning!

These hands on learning experiences helped students understand what it was like for these miners living on the goldfields, and also figure out some of the reasons they made the move to Arrowtown!

The Chinese settlers found it especially hard, as they were invited by the Otago Provincial Government but "not welcome".
