Liston Level 1 History

This course builds on skills learned in Social Studies as well as introduces students to key historical concepts as a basis for ongoing history study. The course involves the study of various events and turning points from the 20th Century.

From 2024 onwards the Level 1 History programme will be using standards designed internally at Liston to prepare students for Level 2 History. We will look into topics such as the Rise of Hitler, Gallipoli, Origins of WW1, Auckland Under Attack, Spanish Civil War and Black Civil Rights. Within this topic, we will look at how this major event influenced people and societies around the globe and also how it impacted groups here in New Zealand. The internal assessments of this course will focus on how the chosen events changed and influenced our New Zealand society in a variety of contexts. 

The course offers both internal and externally assessed standards with a focus on research, essay writing and source interpretation.
