Year 10 Social Studies

Social Studies engenders wonder, enthusiasm and an appreciation of the human, natural and economic environments we live in. While experiencing new ideas and posing controversial questions, students are encouraged to achieve their personal level of excellence. Students will run their own enterprise activity as well as investigate and explore some of the key events, people, and perspectives from the past. They will learn about their local, regional and national geography and also look at economic events that have shaped the New Zealand economy and that affect how sustainable it is.

The junior Social Studies course is taught over two years. This course covers many of the key aspects of the implementation of the Aotearoa New Zealand's Histories Curriculum.
