Teaching Stages 1 to 3 (Kindergarten to Year 6)
Teaching HSIE
The aim of Human Society and Its Environment is to develop in students the values and attitudes, skills, and knowledge and understanding that:
- enhance their sense of personal, community, national and global identity
- enable them to participate in effectively in maintaining and improving the quality of their society and environment.
Human Society and its Environment K-6 is a dynamic learning area. The teaching and learning in this area is influenced by a range of social and environmental changes. These affect the way teachers address the syllabus outcomes and related subject matter. This has changed since the release of the syllabus in 1999.
