The Petone Settlers Museum provides a significant Social Science resource for all age groups through the stories of a special local history that has national implications. Educators offer fun, interactive curriculum-linked learning programmes for students, Year 1-13.
Education programmes encourage students to think creatively while delving into the history of New Zealand and its relationships between Maori and Pakeha. Students will have the opportunity to develop core key competencies within an authentic context. Programmes are FREE, with optional workshops at a small charge, and we are happy to tailor a programme to meet your needs. Please note that booking is essential.
