History fires students’ curiosity and imagination. It invites them to ask, and helps them answer, today’s questions by engaging with the past and imagining and speculating on possible futures. History presents students with the dilemmas, choices, and beliefs of people in the past. It connects students with the wider world as they develop their own identities and sense of place. Students engage with history at personal, local, and international levels. They investigate the histories of their communities, New Zealand, and the wider world.

The aim of Year 13 History is to further students’ understanding of some major historical trends and ideas and to develop the key skills of enquiry, interpretation and communication and to acquire the essential skills of research, analysis and evaluation and the appropriate presentation of information, invaluable to most careers e.g. Law, Journalism, Foreign Affairs, Business/Personnel Management. Students further develop the skills gained in Level 1 and Level 2 NCEA History. They develop an ability to analyse critically a variety of sources and to distinguish among a range of historical viewpoints.
The study of topics include : The Tudor Dynasty c.1485-1603 (which may include the reigns of Henry VII, Henry VIII, Edward VI, Mary I and Elizabeth I); the Medieval Crusades, c.1095-1204 or Black Civil Rights in the USA, c.1920-1964.
Students complete assignments for internal assessment and practice external assessments to prepare for the end of year NCEA assessment.
Your work will be assessed through internally assessed assignments throughout the year and external assessments at the end of the year.
