Mr Nick Ryan —

Weekly Blog

The Social Science Faculty is continuing to showcase student work on their weekly blog in 2020.

This week’s blog features work from Mr Wilson’s, Mr Ryan’s and Mr Sullivan’s Year 9 and 10 Social Studies classes. Students in these classes have been looking into the Coronavirus outbreak to determine the causes, impacts and implications of the deadly new virus. The topic also served a great purpose in educating students on the danger of sensationalist reporting, misinformation and fake news in a crisis. 

Students have spent time getting to know their classes and unpacking the concept of demographics and ethnicities to better understand their place in New Zealand society.
