    This term's context is The Power of Choice. 

    This term, we will explore alternate avenues of health and wellbeing. There are many traditional medicinal practices that have evolved with culture and time. In celebration of Matariki, we will explore the Maori medicines using NZ native plants. We will also draw parallels between animal and plant anatomy and physiology.
