Teacher in Charge: Ms H. deVries.

Level 1 History looks at the events and people that contributed to the fabric of modern New Zealand.  Students analyse topics ranging from: the political crises in Europe that led to the rise of Nazi Germany and then World War II; the Nuclear Free NZ movement; and, the 1981 Springbok Tour. Throughout each topic the students look at how all the people of New Zealand were impacted and what the legacy of each event is in modern society.  History is for students who like to debate issues, tinker with problems and find meanings in the actions of others.

Disclaimer

Southland Boys' High School endeavours to timetable courses depending on students' needs, interests and future plans.  Many factors can influence whether a course is able to be offered in the following year.  These can include:

  • Student demand
  • Staff availability
  • Resourcing

These factors can also impact on timetabling, and as a result students will be asked for input about any clashes that may occur.

Where a course is not able to be run, students' back-up subjects will be used.  If there are issues with student selections and the timetabling process, students will have the opportunity to make a decision in conjunction with staff input on the best solution.
