Humanities and Social Science
The Humanities and Social Sciences are the study of human behaviour and interaction in social, cultural, environmental, economic and political contexts.
Our philosophy is to engage students in their learning and foster higher order thinking skills. In Society and Environment students are encouraged to explore their world and discover how they fit into it.
Through studying Humanities and Social Sciences, students will develop the ability to question, think critically, solve problems, communicate effectively, make decisions and adapt to change.
