HISTORY 31F - Full Year

Course Description

Teacher in Charge: Mrs J. Welch.


In History students will get the opportunity to study not only what happened in the past, but how and why these stories continue to be told over time. The main themes studied at Year 13 include Discrimination and Persecution. Skills from Year 11 and 12 History are consolidated and developed to a higher level.

Topics studied may include:

Parihaka - an examination of the significance and perspectives of the Invasion of Parihaka
Witchcraft - Witch Hunts and the Salem Witch Trials - A study of the development, spread and beliefs behind European Witchcraft, the persecution of witches and their trials. This will consist of viewing the witch trials and beliefs of the common folk from a religious, economic and political perspective.
New Zealand Land Wars - research into an aspect of the New Zealand Wars

If a student achieves 14 Level 3 credits in this course it will be counted as an approved subject for University Entrance.

Future Possibilities
A student who has completed Level 3 History will have developed analytical and writing skills which may be applied in most other subjects. Specifically, study can lead to careers in foreign affairs, law, journalism, broadcasting, travel, teaching, Government Departments, marketing management, research and any vocation requiring excellent communication and investigative skills.
