L2 General Social Science

L2SOC
Course Description

Teacher in Charge: Ms H. deVries.

Recommended Prior Learning

This is an open entry course though students should have an interest in the social sciences.

General Social Science is a course designed for students who enjoy social science but who do not intend to continue to university level education. The course will have achievement standards from Geography, History and Media Studies so students should not select this course in addition to any of those subjects. 

Students will conduct geographic research at Aoraki Mt Cook, will study 911 as a historic event and its significance to New Zealand, and, they will also have the chance to make a movie. This course will lead on to Year 13 General Social Science and can not be used for entry into other year 13 Social Science Subjects unless approved by the HoF.

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:
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.
