Social Studies

Social Sciences at Rutherford College builds on the foundations that students have gained in their previous schools. Our Akonga are given the opportunity to learn at great deal more about Aotearoa and the wider world in which they live. They study the events that have defined and driven our history and that of the world. Students are also taught the skills and abilities they need to succeed in the wide variety of subjects they study across the school. As a department we look to ensure that we reinforce and build literacy and numeracy skills, essential for long term success. Above all, we ensure that are students are taught a curriculum that is dynamic, informative and fun!
