MTG VISIT



D I S A S T E R     E N Q U I R Y


The Middle School have been involved in an enquiry into disasters and how people cope and look after each other during and after such tragic events. As part of that study we visited the MTG and the school where 'Isabel's Upside Down day' is set. This is a book we use to help the kids have some empathy and understanding with kids their own age during such a traumatic event.

We visited the MTG in Napier where Gaynor Comley greeted us and took us on a tour of the exhibit, played some games and told us lots of great stories as well as sad and moving ones.
