Humanities

In Humanities students investigate people’s interconnections with society, groups and other individuals and with built and natural environments, both in the past and present. It is a broad subject which gives our students the opportunity to explore many different areas of learning. These areas include Geography, History, Civics and Citizenship, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander histories and culture and Environmental Sustainability, whilst also incorporating elements of Science and The Arts. These overarching themes create a framework for students to learn across wide subject areas and supports our students in developing a deeper understanding of the world around them.

Through the teaching of Humanities in Years Prep to Six we nurture a love of learning through varied and stimulating learning experiences. These experiences interest and engage students, encourage critical and creative thinking whilst helping our students make connections between the classroom and the real world.

Our engaging and sequential Humanities curriculum encourages students to see themselves as explorers, scientists, historians, researchers, creators and thinkers, who actively contribute to the community, care for the environment and respect different cultures and beliefs.
