It has been a busy beginning to the year in the Social Studies department. 

Classes are underway with new topics, assignments and common assessment tasks are being worked through. We welcome Mrs Brooks and Mrs Vercoe to the department to join our committed and enthusiastic team.

The Year 9 teaching programme has begun with the ‘Kiwi Identity’ topic which explores what it means to be a Kiwi and a New Zealand citizen.

The Year 10 Social Studies teaching programme has begun with the topic ‘People and the Environment’. This topic explores resources and the sustainability of our planet.  Students also complete a research assignment on a New Zealand resource.
