SOCIAL SCIENCES

Head of Faculty: Ms Sarah Bryson 

Social Sciences help to build an understanding of places, people and cultures and foster a concern for fairness in society. Learning in social sciences aims to help ākonga / students thrive in the diverse communities and environments of Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland, Aotearoa New Zealand and the world. As they learn in social sciences, ākonga will make sense of the past, present and be informed about the future. They will also explore social, economic and environmental issues associated with human rights, inequity, migration and sustainability.

Social Studies: Head of Department: Ms Charlotte Bass 

Ākonga / students learn about Social Studies in Year 9 and 10 where it is a core part of the curriculum. Social Studies is about exploring places, people and cultures in the past, present and in our possible futures. Ākonga will use social inquiry skills to explore social, economic and environmental issues in Tāmaki Makaurau (Auckland), Aotearoa New Zealand, and globally. This will enable them to contribute and participate as informed and respectful citizens in our community and wider society.
