Aotearoa New Zealand Histories Curriculum: Parent Information Evening Invite
WGHS warmly invites our parent community to an information evening to learn more about the Aotearoa New Zealand Histories Curriculum which will be implemented next year.
The new curriculum is being developed and designed by The Ministry of Education, and will formalise the teaching of New Zealand history in schools throughout the country. The curriculum covers teaching over Years 1-10.
The Ministry of Education has published a draft curriculum document, which schools and members of the public have the opportunity to provide feedback on via a survey, before the end of May.
At our parent information evening, you will have the opportunity to hear more about what is in the proposed curriculum, learn how to take the survey, and have the chance to discuss your responses to the proposed curriculum with other parents and teachers.
We are excited about this development in Social Science education, and look forward to hearing your ideas. If your daughter is already a senior student, your experience of the current curriculum is valuable to us.
Please note that due to space restrictions, this is an evening for parents, not students.
Details are:
When: Thursday 20 May
Time: 6.30pm – light refreshments will be served
Venue: WGHS Staff Room, Gernhoefer Admin Centre
Please RSVP to [email protected] for catering purposes, including any dietary requirements and also your daughter’s name and Year Level. We will look forward to seeing you on Thursday 20 May.
