History
‘History teaches everything including the future.’
Lamartine
History provides a framework of knowledge that gives people an understanding of New Zealand society and an insight into the social, economic and political issues shaping the world in the twentieth century. There is emphasis on the part individuals and groups have played in past events and the social and political consequences.
This subject enhances thinking, reasoning, analysing, and evaluation techniques, as well as developing specialist enquiry, interpretation and communication skills.
