What will I
learn?Topics: - Aspects of New Zealand and

History is the study of real events and reactions. We look at how people have acted and what they hoped to achieve. We look at how people re-imagine the past to suit their needs. We look to how Justice can be delayed and denied. How will I
learn?
Examine, analyse and
question why things happen. Consider whether events are the drivers of History,
or something deeper. You will question and think critically. You will read
widely. You will view essential texts.
