Courses Description

Head of Pathway: Mr G. Van den Hoeven, Ms L. Neveling.

With great power comes great responsibility! In this combined English and Social Studies module, as a guardian of te Whenua, you will learn about the responsibility we all have to protect and sustain the natural world for present and future generations.

You will read captivating stories and texts in literature which inspire and empower environmental action. Through a variety of texts, you will explore how writers weave narratives of responsibility, connection to the Whenua (land), and the importance of indigenous knowledge. 

You will enjoy this course if you want to be a literary guardian yourself and develop a deeper understanding of our connection to our natural world through discussions, debates and story-telling, then join our Kaitiaki (Guardian) Team and make a difference!
