Welcome to Mrs Gordon's Year 10 Social Studies class.

In Year 10, Integrated Studies separates into English and Social Studies.

Social Studies is about people and the societies they live in. You learn about people, places, cultures, histories, resources, the environment and the economic world, within and beyond New Zealand.
