NCEA Level 3 History

Course Description

Teacher in Charge: G. Hampton.

History is the study of past events connected with particular places and people. History helps students to understand people and societies, to investigate their own moral standing on issues and gives perspectives on what it means to be a responsible citizen. 

In History students develop skills in assessing evidence and conflicting interpretations of events and people, critical thinking and the ability to gather, analyse and communicate information. 

At Level 3 students will focus on aspects of NZ History and contested historical events. 

Content/Skills may include:

  • Controversial New Zealand Court cases and events
  • Contested events, including Comfort Women and Hiroshima
  • Genocide
  • New Zealand Wars
  • Chinese Gold Miners in New Zealand

This course is a University Entrance approved subject.
