Humanities and Social Sciences (HaSS)

Humanities and Social Sciences (HaSS)

Humanities and Social Sciences (HaSS) focuses on the study of human behaviour and interactions in social, cultural, environmental, economic and political contexts. The HaSS learning area comprises four subjects: History, Geography, Economics and Business, and Civics and Citizenship.

Through studying HaSS, students will develop the ability to question, think critically, solve problems, communicate effectively, make decisions and adapt to change. The Humanities and Social Sciences subjects provide a broad understanding of the world in which we live, and how people can participate as active and informed citizens. We also offer HaSS elective for years 9 and 10, for students to extend their learning.
