The Final Frontier - English and Science

Courses Description

Head of Pathway:

Come on a voyage of exploration where we investigate what it takes to be an astronaut travelling to far off places and the effects on them and their loved ones. 

You will be put your self in the place of an astronaut as we deep dive into understanding space exploration and consider what it means to us as New Zealanders. We will explore the short NZ film Tawhiti  which follows five Māori astronauts who have returned to Earth after living on Mars for five years. 

The module will be delivered with self directing learning, teacher led learning and practical activities.
