Our Government is a Social Studies book designed to help young New Zealanders to understand how systems of Governments are organised and affect people’s lives.
Students will become familiar with what a Government is and what it does. They will gain knowledge about the system of Government we have in New Zealand, its origins, how it operates and how it compares with other systems of Government. They will also be introduced to some of the rights and responsibilities we have as members of society. The approach is investigative. Resources and activities work together to provide a framework in which the process of learning is as important as the end-content.
