Year 10 Heritage and History
SSCHH1 Course DescriptionThis course is a semester long and will be offered in both semester 1 and 2.
The big question: How has the past shaped who we are today? Can we Learn from the past?
"Heritage and History" is our year 10 Social Studies course designed for those who want to learn more about our history and where we come from. We will explore the local history in our community before we look at some of the major historical events that shaped our identity as a country here in Aotearoa. We will dive into the dynamic landscape of different government types, from capitalism to communism, and learn how they shape societies and historical events. We will look at how power is shared in different ways and how this power and influence can affect the lives of people who have lived through them. Take this course if you are interested in history, and want to learn more about the stories behind our past, present and future.
