HUMAN SOCIETY AND IT'S ENVIRONMENT

 

Human Society and Its Environment (HSIE) is the key learning area in which students develop knowledge, understandings, skills, values and attitudes about people and their social and physical environments.

 

The content of Human Society and Its Environment incorporates gender, Aboriginal, citizenship, multicultural, environmental, work and global perspectives.   It also recognises the importance of concepts that will support reconciliation between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal Australians, such as the recognition of spirituality and shared heritage.

 

Human Society and its Environment gives students the opportunities to acquire, interpret and create information by using computers and other technologies.

 

Information technology enables students to locate, access, view and analyse a range of  material. It provides opportunities for students to design and create information products and to determine the usefulness, accuracy, reliability and validity of information.

 

 

 

The syllabus and other supporting material for HSIE K-6 is available from the Board of Studies.
