Kiwi Identity

Flags, Anthems and Coat of Arms Challenge: Draw the New Zealand flag from memory! How did you do? How is the NZ flag different to the OZ?

What is the history of the New Zealand Flag? Without a flag to represent the new nation, trading ships and their valuable cargoes were being seized (arrested) and not allowed to trade. Following the signing of the Treaty of Waitangi on 6 February 1840, the Union Jack replaced the Flag of the United Tribes of New Zealand as the official flag of New Zealand. British law required that all ships owned by a colonial government must fly the Blue Ensign with the badge of the colony on it. New Zealand at that time did not have an official badge or emblem, and as such flew the Blue Ensign without a distinguishing badge.

The New Zealand Flag features, on a royal blue background, a Union Jack in the first quarter and four five-pointed red stars of the Southern Cross on the fly. The stars have white borders. After several suggestions for a official badge or emblem – the southern cross stars were finally accepted.

What Kind of Flag? Your challenge is to design a new flag for New Zealand. The New Zealand Flag may be made to any size, but in all cases the length should be twice the width. Think colours, symbols that represent our Multicultural society. Finish this for Homework Due Monday!

The Anthem New Zealand holds a rare position in the world in that it has two national anthems of equal standing - 'God Defend New Zealand' and 'God Save The Queen'.

The Coat of Arms Challenge: Can you draw it? How did you do? Analyse the Coat of Arms. Take each item in turn and decide what it is supposed to tell people about New Zealand. Write a description of New Zealand based on the Coat of Arms.
