Kiwi Identity

Flags, Anthems and Coat of ArmsChallenge: 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.

The AnthemNew 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'. Both of these anthems have origins which have been inspired by the fire of patriotism yet were written under markedly different situations.

History of the Coat of Arms

In 1906 a competition was held for designs, however those being considered were destroyed when fire swept through the Old Parliament Buildings in 1907.The competition was readvertised in 1908 and some 75 designs featuring everything from kiwis, sheep, cows, moas and lions, to stars, ships, British soldiers, Maori warriors and Union Jacks were received. The winning entry was a design by James McDonald, a draughtsman in the Department of Tourist and Health Resorts.

Often social scientists have to organise data to come up with solutions for problems or issues in society.

These graphs can also be used to help understand how multicultural our country is.
