- the historical information about your own school held by the Library
- preparing for and running a school anniversary, including firsthand experience from Cloverlea School
- digital tools to help you get started with your own family history research
- how to get advice from City Library experts in the future

This professional development opportunity will support curriculum areas beyond social sciences. For more information, email virginia.warbrick@pncc.govt.nz
