L1 History (L1HIS)
Course Description
Teacher in Charge: Mrs J. Valentine.
Theme for the year: Protest
During the year we look at two main topics:
- Oppression of African Americans;
- Protests in Aotearoa New Zealand, with a particular focus on the Springbok Tour
Within the African Americans topic we look at slavery, and the abolition movement; the rise of Black Civil Rights in the first half of the 1900s; and the Civil Rights Movement in the 1950s and 1960s in America.
For the Protests in Aotearoa New Zealand we complete an in-depth study of the Springbok Tour. We also study other protests that have occurred in New Zealand, such as Bastion Point and the 1975 Land March, and the key people involve din these, such as Dame Whina Cooper.
An exciting course which provides insight into how things were, how things are and how things may be in the future. If you like learning something new each lesson, enjoy researching and discussion then this is the course for you. History makes sense!

Course Overview
Term 1
In Term One, we start with an Introduction to History.
- What is History? How is it constructed?
- Kia whakatō muri te haere whakamua (‘I walk backwards into the future with my eyes fixed on my past’).
We then start work on our first theme of Achieving Social Justice.
We first look at the struggle for Women’s Suffrage in New Zealand and the United Kingdom; then move on to the Oppression of African Americans, including the struggle to end segregation and gain integration in 1950s and 1960s America, as well as the Birmingham Campaign and the March on Washington.
During this Term, students also begin their research of a significant event, that occurred during the twentieth century, of their choice and present their findings which leads to the achievement of eight internal credits if successful.
Students may also choose to use their learning in this topic for the end of year external examinations.
Term 2
In Term Two, we continue our study of Achieving Social Justice, moving on to look at the Status of Maori in Aotearoa New Zealand, and comparing this to the struggle faced by African Americans in the U.S.
We then move on to look at the theme of oppression. Through this we look at the rise of Hitler, and the consequences of this.
This leads us on to study the impact of WW2 on New Zealanders in Term 3.
Students will complete a third internal, studying two different perspectives of a significant event, leading to 4 credits.
