Level 1 Social Studies
Course Description
Teacher in Charge: Mr D. Griffiths.
Social Studies is about people — who they are, what they do, how they change, and what happens to them. The subject’s purpose is for ākonga to have the knowledge, skills and competencies to recognise their own agency and act out of concern for the well-being of whānau, hapū, iwi, and society. Ākonga learn how they can take part in society as informed, responsible, critical, and active citizens. This subject emphasises experiences in Aotearoa New Zealand, the Pacific, and connectedness with the wider world. Social Studies inquiry and social action are integral to Social Studies.
