Year 10 Social Studies

This course continues to develop the skills that have been introduced in Year 9. These are reading and writing, research and communication, critical thinking, group work and leadership. Students will develop these skills by learning about the following themes of work:

• Colonisation - colonising forces in the local area, Waikato and Samoa
  
  
• Making New Zealanders – local settler groups, Chinese migrants, war and our identity.
  
  
• Human Rights – may include USA, South Africa, Australia, and New Zealand
  
  
• Pollution & Consumption – exploring our consumption habits and how we can make them more environmentally sustainable.
