Section outline





    • Achievement Objectives: 

      Level 5

      • Understand how people define and seek human rights.

      In this term, we will be focusing on human rights around the globe and our role in protecting our own rights and the rights of others. We will be learning about some of the different ways people have advocated for change in the past and the fights people are continuing to wage today in our own backyard here in Aotearoa. We will be spending time thinking about our identity within our communities, the importance of allyship, and figuring out what issues you care about most. 

      My aim is to develop an understanding of how important and necessary are Human Rights to us, but also we are a witness of how those Rights are violated in many places and in many situations.

       How might I engage with topical issues and form an opinion so that I can take social action?
