1. Arrange students into groups. Each group needs at least ONE person who has a mobile device.
2. If their phone camera doesn't automatically detect and decode QR codes, ask students to
4. Cut them out and place them around your class / school.
1. Give each group a clipboard and a piece of paper so they can write down the decoded questions and their answers to them.
2. Explain to the students that the codes are hidden around the school. Each team will get ONE point for each question they correctly decode and copy down onto their sheet, and a further TWO points if they can then provide the correct answer and write this down underneath the question.
3. Away they go! The winner is the first team to return with the most correct answers in the time available. This could be within a lesson, or during a lunchbreak, or even over several days!
4. A detailed case study in how to set up a successful QR Scavenger Hunt using this tool can be found here.

| 1. Permanent and Long-Term (PLT) arrivals and departures indicate who is arriving or departing New Zealand for an intended stay of at least 12 months. In 2015–16, annual arrivals rose to 125,000, and net migration rose to a record high of 69,000 (arrivals minus departures). | H | 2. Survey data reveals migrants integrate well in New Zealand (87% of migrants say they feel they belong to New Zealand) and exhibit relatively high mental and physical health and life satisfaction. | H | 3. While most New Zealanders embrace the diversity migrants bring to New Zealand, there is concern about the impact of migrants on national identity, particularly among Māori. | H | 4. as well as other cultural and economic benefits the country might not have known. | H | 5. Evidence suggests social unrest and extremism stem from social isolation and economic despair. | H | 6. New Zealand has relatively little ethnic or migrant clustering. Where concentrations of migrants do occur, there is no indication of high unemployment. | H | 7. is being driven by native-born New Zealanders’ purchases and a booming economy. Cutting immigration is unlikely to have a significant effect. | H | 8. Migrants, like anyone in the country, impose some burden on infrastructure and hence require additional government spending. However, on average, migrants contribute much more in net taxes than native-born New Zealanders. | H | 9. Fears of negative labour market impacts are overblown. A wealth of empirical research disputes the notion that migrants ‘steal jobs’ from native-born workers. Likewise, the net effect of immigration on wages is generally negligible. | H | 10. Many of the benefits of immigration are not easily quantifiable – and often overlooked | H | 11. A fast growing population has the potential to increase pressure on infrastructure and house prices. | H | 12. Many New Zealanders are beginning to doubt this rhetoric. They are questioning whether keeping the door open to migrants will threaten the very things that make New Zealand special. | H | 13. Economists Julie Fry and Hayden Glass note that New Zealand has one of the highest immigration arrivals rates in the developed world, with an inflow equivalent to 1.4% of the population from 2008 to 2013. | H | 14. about what it means to be a New Zealander is there is no single definition we can all agree on. | H | 15.

Terrorists who wish to avoid this additional scrutiny will most likely opt for the easiest means of gaining access into a country, namely as a tourist or a student. | H | 18.
