Human Society & Its Environment

Human Society and its Environment is the study of how humans interact with the world, how society operates and how it is changing.

Through the study of HSIE, students develop the skills to prepare them to actively and responsibly participate as informed citizens in the contemporary world.

research, gather and analyse information
question and make judgements
write for a variety of purposes.
