Humanities and Social Sciences
Humanities and Social Sciences expands students' understanding of history, geography, civics and citizenship, and economics and business. It gives students a deep understanding of the world they live in from a range of perspectives, past and present, and encourages them to develop an appreciation and respect for social, cultural and religious diversity. This subject also empowers students to shape change by developing a range of skills to enable them to make informed decisions and solve problems.
Core Curriculum
We have implemented the Australian Curriculum: Humanities and Social Sciences.
The F–6 Humanities and Social Sciences curriculum encompasses knowledge and understanding from the four sub-strands of history, geography, civics and citizenship, and economics and business. The curriculum includes the sub-strands of history and geography in Foundation Year to Year 2, and introduces the sub-strand of civics and citizenship in Year 3, and the sub-strand of economics and business in Year 5.
