Te Ohu Rata – Gallipoli Medics

This programme is for the following year groups: Year 4-6, Year 7-8, Year 9-10, Year 11-13.

Can you imagine the physical and emotional toll the World War I soldiers and nurses dealt with? How have technology and science improved the medical treatment provided to soldiers injured in conflict?

Students will gain a deeper understanding of the conditions during the Gallipoli campaign. What is the difference between physical and moral courage – would you volunteer to help? Take part in a re-enactment.

To help your students understand more of The Great War, we have loan resources available for the classroom. Our Handling Collection for World War I | He Kohikohinga Whāwhā Pakanga Tuatahi lets students see and handle genuine artefacts from this war.
