Year 10 Social Studies

The junior Social Science programme is constantly evolving in order to develop the knowledge and skills that students will need in the 21st century. 2023 sees the beginnings of integrating  the new, exciting and compulsory Aotearoa New Zealand History into the programme. 

Social Sciences creates a curiosity about and a respect for places, people, cultures and systems.

The knowledge and skills students will embrace in year 10 will further enable them to:

• Develop understanding of ideas about changing global societies.

• Appropriately contribute in local, national and global communities.

• Evaluate the sustainability of alternative social, economic, political and environmental practices.

• Explore and analyse people’s values and perspectives.

• Engage critically with societal happenings through an ongoing current events programme.

• Build understandings of how people have shaped Aotearoa New Zealand’s past to help them make sense of the present and inform future decisions and actions.
