NCEA Level 3 History

Course Description

Teacher in Charge: Mr R. Gregory.

Year 13 History will cover various topics of interest including:

1. Maori Pakeha relations in the 19th Century
Meet remarkable figures like Hone Heke; famed flag pole destroyer, General Duncan Cameron; British soldier who led his troops to defeat in the Waikato, George Grey; Governor of New Zealand, who swung between favouring Maori and attempting to take away their land, as well as missionaries, sealers, whalers and traders who lived in the bawdy, bustling brothel town of Kororareka, the first capital of New Zealand. Why did Britain decide to annex New Zealand? Why was the Treaty of Waitangi signed? Why did the New Zealand wars break out?
2. Research topics
This component is internally assessed and comprises up to15 credits. Different topics are chosen from year to year depending on the interests and strengths of the students, availability of resources and the requirements of the standards.

A student will be withdrawn from a standard if the teacher is not confident that the achievement of the standard is within the reach of the student or there is no evidence of the student attempting the assessment.
