The responsibilities of the Tongan monarchs from 1900 – 2024 is a Year 12/13 course designed to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of the roles and responsibilities of the Tongan monarchs in the 20th century. The students will explore the political, social, and cultural developments in the Kingdom of Tonga during this period, amazing the actions taken by the monarchs and their impact on the nation and its people.
In their study, they will compare this to the roles and responsibilities of the NZ government nowadays. They will analyse the similarities and differences and how they have an impact on their current lifestyle as a Tongan.
