STUDIES OF SOCIETY AND ENVIRONMENT

Society and Environment is an essential part of a balanced education where all students learn about the factors that shape their individual identity and that of their society.

This area is important because it expands students’ knowledge and understanding of their own society, other societies, local and global environments and the relationships between environments and societies. It develops knowledge about Australia , the diversity of its people, its cultural and natural environmental heritage, and its place in the world.

Our classroom provides opportunities for the development of:

- investigation, communication and participation skills,
practical survival skills,
- interpersonal skills necessary for getting along with others and establishing attitudes, values and beliefs,
- strategies for making decisions and choices,
- developing skills that enhance the ability to live in peace and harmony in our independent and interconnected world of natural and social systems.
