Welcome to the Learning Area of Social Studies site.
The Social Science learning area is about how societies work and how people can participate as critical, active, informed, and responsible citizens. Contexts are drawn from the past, present, and future and from places within and beyond New Zealand.
Learning will develop students in their critical thinking of current events and societal issues, as well as develop research and their communication skills. This is a compulsory subject in Years 9 and 10 with the option to continue with a Social Science in the Senior School.
