Courses Description

Head of Pathway: Mr G. Van den Hoeven.

Students will study the history of Kelston and the forces that influenced it:

  • Pacific migration and the settling of Tāmaki Makaurau by Māori 
  • Te Kawerau ā Maki history (including a Te Henga trip)
  • Colonisation
  • 20th Century immigration, including focus on the ways that globalisation and capitalism shaped Kelston
  • Pacific and Asian immigrant stories

Students will choose an immigration story of one group of people who have settled this rohe.

They will research the forces that brought them here, and identify one person to interview as a primary source.

You will like this course if you want to deepen your understanding of how history has shaped your whānau and our community. Students present their work visually at Learning Showcase.
