The 60s was a time of social, technological and political change. Civil rights, missiles, assassination, riots, war, coloured television, protests, invasions and nuclear testing, medical advances, the first African American judge all events that have changed and shaped the world we live in today. This course will allow students to take a look at events in the 60s from Aotearoa and overseas that they have an interest in and to develop their knowledge and understanding of those events and the impacts they have had on places, societies and people. 


Historians are like detectives. We arrive on the scene after the event has taken place and have to look for evidence. Skills developed in History include research, processing and analysing information from a range of sources including photos, documents, video, cartoons and communicating information through arguing your case using the evidence you have collated.
