Humanities

Humanities is a fascinating, challenging and enjoyable subject. It helps us to understand the changes in societies and countries over time, investigate the development of the world’s resources, and predict future trends for our lifestyles and the use of our natural environment.

Humanities

Year 7

In Year 7 Humanities, students engage with four key disciplines: Civics and Citizenship, Economics and Business, Geography, and History. The curriculum covers Australia’s democratic system, legal rights and responsibilities, economic decision-making, and the concept of sustainability.

Students also investigate the liveability of places, explore ancient civilisations, and consider the interdependence of consumers and producers in the marketplace.

This comprehensive program develops their ability to think critically and independently while honing important skills such as research, analysis, evaluation, and communication.

By the end of the year, students will have gained a deeper understanding of historical and contemporary issues, while developing the skills needed to engage thoughtfully with the world around them.
