Humanities

The Humanities discipline consists of a range of humanities based subjects, ranging from Year 8 History and Geography to Year 12 Legal Studies, Tourism, Economics and International Studies.  This learning area provides students with the capacity to examine issues relating to values and attitudes in society, locally and globally, in order to understand and evaluate the implications of decisions, whether Historical, Geographic and/or Economical, actions and relationships.  The ultimate goal of the Humanities learning area is that students are able to develop the knowledge, skills and values which will enable them to participate, in a range of ways, as ethical, active and informed citizens in a democratic society within a global community.
