At my school we don't learn history until 5th form or year 11 i'm 3rd form year 9. Until now I had never heard of independence day. I guess in New Zealand we learn all about our country first and then we learn about other ones later on in school.
We celebrate things like the Treaty of Waitangi (The day the British signed a treaty with the maori's).
We're a very small country. ( Only about 4 million people.)
Happy independance day anyway guys.
