Social Sciences

YEAR 9

YEAR 9 10 YEAR

The Social Sciences are about how societies work and how you can participate as a critical, active, informed, and responsible citizen. Contexts are drawn from the past, present, and future and from places within and beyond New Zealand.

Teachers and students work together to create learning programmes that enable you to learn about people, places, cultures, histories, and the economic world, within and beyond New Zealand. Develop understandings about how societies are organised and function and how the ways in which people and communities respond are shaped by different perspectives, values, and viewpoints. Explore how others see themselves, clarify your own identity in relation to your particular heritages and contexts.
