History Level 3
Course Outline 2015
The Marist College community is committed to fostering excellence in education founded on living Catholic values and the spirit
of Mary.
Curriculum Statement
Students should:
 understand that the causes, consequences and explanations of historical
events that are of significance to New Zealanders are complex and how
and why they are contested.
 understand how trends over time reflect social, economic and political
forces.
Course Expectations
Senior history is part of the wider curriculum and reflects the vision, principles,
values and key competencies of the New Zealand Curriculum.
Year 13 students are expected to take ownership of their own learning and
develop an historical consciousness.
This is demonstrated in analysis of present situations and future possibilities
with reference to similar/comparable cases from the past and analyses that
refer to past-present trends.
In both instances, historical consciousness will make students aware of
distorted or partial pictures and they will be able to make more critical
judgements and have a higher level of historical understanding.
Students are to strive to:
 develop their written skills to a high level
 to read widely and
 use a variety of primary and secondary material to support their
learning.
The over-riding goal is to strive towards excellence.
The Marist College community is committed to fostering excellence in education founded on living Catholic values and the spirit
of Mary.
