HASS

Stage 1

Modern History:

Whilst exploring the changes in the world since 1750, students examine development and movements of significance, the ideas that inspired them and their short and long- term consequences on societal systems and individuals. Students are encouraged to be critical thinkers and develop skills in persuasive and informed writing. Students undertake an individual study on a topic of their choice. Other in-depth studies may include revolutions and movements for change. There is scope for students to shape the content of the course and to present work in a range of formats.


Women’s Studies:

Students examine the diversity of women’s experiences and their relationships to others while also investigating how we can promote an inclusive and just society. Students identify complex and contradictory ideas that exist about femininity and masculinity and examine issues in regard to gender and the gender spectrum within society. Students complete two text analysis tasks, one group task and an independent investigation.

Society and Culture:

In Society and Culture, students explore and analyse the interactions of people, societies, cultures and environments. They learn how social, political, historical, environmental, economic and cultural factors affect different societies; and how people function and communicate in and across cultural groups. Through their study of Society and Culture, students develop the ability to influence their own futures, by developing skills, values and understandings that enable effective participation in contemporary society. Students will have the opportunity to work both individually and collaboratively and to co-design their learning. 

Topics may include:

  • Current Social or Cultural Issues 
  • Popular Culture 
  • Prejudice and Discrimination 
  • Natural Environments 
  • Sustainable Practices 
  • Refugees and Migrants
