In Human Society and its Environment (HSIE), the subjects of History and Geography are mandatory from Year 7 to Year 10.
In these two mandatory subjects, students learn specific historical and geographical concepts and skills. Students’ capacity to think critically about the world around them is fostered and developed with the aim of producing active global citizens.

Throughout 7-12, students will develop key skills in questioning, researching, analysing and making judgements based on evidence. Students will also learn to write for a variety of purposes.
