SSCFP1

From Past to Present (2)

Course Description

This course is a semester long and will be offered in both semester 1 and 2.

 Why Study History?

The big question: How does the past impact on the present and our future?

Can we Learn from the Past?

Global history as well as aspects of Aotearoa History will be investigated such as how society has changed and the resulting impacts on people’s lives. Hopefully students will be able to make connections between how present day problems can be traced back to incidents in the past and the lessons we can learn to be prepared for the future. The local history of Upper Hutt, Pre European Maori settlement, British settlement, forestry, the railways, industrialisation and expansion are all key aspects to be explored.
