Resources

Many of these resources are created by teachers in New Zealand. They have been catalogued by Curriculum Level and Suggested Topic, as requested by the Teachers who answered  the online survey conducted prior to the set up of this website.

- Proficiency Statement

- AOs with Examples

The two supporting strands are only assessed indirectly through their contribution to the Communication strand.
