Out & About
Students buried in past
Huntly College students went back in time to bring the stories of World War I Waikato-Tainui soldiers and
opposing conscripts back to life. The 120 year 9 and 10 students spent time in the classroom
researching their backgrounds before heading out to parts of the Huntly township to visit places that
were important to their stories.
Micaela Tischendorf, left and Ocianna Brown use the
power of the internet to research their selected name.
