Each of the New Zealand Impact Player exhibits one or more of the stated values to be encouraged, modelled and explored: excellence; innovation, inquiry and curiosity; diversity; equity; community and participation; ecological sustainability; integrity; respect. Activities for students address the key competencies: thinking; using language, symbols and texts; managing self; relating to others; participating and contributing. It supports the eight principles such as Treaty of Waitangi, Cultural diversity and Future focus where citizenship and enterprise are important.
From community crusaders to constructing wizards to scientific innovators this text looks at 54 people from past and present that have helped shape New Zealand. There are three short paragraphs for each 'Impact Player' consisting of their early life, work and impact. These are followed by six activities for students to complete.
