Sr. History changes to HSS at ŌC
Sr. History changes to HSS at ŌC
Why the change to HSS from History only?
The NZ Social Sciences Curriculum includes a variety of disciplines and while most of our students are taking History, we have chosen to offer a bit more choice for senior students. Most will be learning History at Levels 1 and 2, and In level 3 students are choosing standards from History or Classics. In addition, there was great interest in Psychology last year and a few students are taking Psychology online through Distance Learning.
Happy Retirement Mr. Shields
