Humanities and Social Sciences (HASS)
In each year of high school, students spend a semester studying History, then complete units in Geography, Economics and Business, and Civics and Citizenship. HASS is a dynamic and relevant learning area, and links are made with other areas of study and current issues in Australian and world affairs. Our aim is to develop students’ ability to make connections from the past to help them understand the world in which they live. Assessment is focused on developing our students’ inquiry, research, writing and presentation skills.
Extension History and HASS
This elective is for students who are presently achieving at C grade or above in HASS, and want to pursue a topic of their interest. We intend to use an inquiry-based approach, and students will need to be self-motivated to question, find resources, and report on their findings to their peers.
