Course Overview
We now live in a globalised world, in a time where it is incredibly easy to communicate and interact with people from all different walks of life. There are many benefits to this increasing globalisation, however, there is also the potential for some challenges to arise. Through studying Social Studies, you will be able to develop an understanding of the way that people of different backgrounds and understandings interact with one another in the world around them and how these interactions can shape the world that we live in. You will be able to develop your critical inquiry skills and case studies have the potential to be based on your own interests.

Kia ora, I am the NetNZ senior Social Studies teacher based at Ashburton College in Mid-Canterbury. My classroom subjects are Social Studies, Classics, and Art. My purpose is to teach NetNZ students strong research and report writing skills; critical analysis skills to analyse different points of view; and also skills to plan and undertake social action projects in students' communities/schools. My interests include learning music, strength training, and making art. I look forward to working with you this year.
