Welcome to the Year 9 Social Studies programme. I sincerely hope that you enjoy Social Studies. We do aim as a department to improve the students knowledge and skills. The aim will be to deliver a curriculum that is interesting, informative, and relevant. The key concepts are based upon the New Zealand curriculum and its achievement objectives. This year, you can expect some homework tasks, to be given projects to complete, and weekly quizzes on key word used in Social Studies.
