Year 10 Social Studies

Social Studies is the study of people. We aim to make students more knowledgeable about their world and give them the skills to be actively involved in society. Critical thinking is encouraged as well as how to become a responsible citizen. The theme for this year is Power and Control. We examine how power and control affect societies and the environment and how people respond. Topics include Fairshare, Government, New Zealand Wars, and Protest. A variety of inquiry, literacy, and processing skills are used throughout the course.
