I would like to start by emphasising the strong start to Term three that we have made in the Individuals and Societies Faculty. The Individuals and Societies curriculum encourages students to challenge themselves, so that they become creative, critical and reflective thinkers and learners that make connections between the topics they study and the real world that they live in. Thus, we endeavour to provide opportunities for our students to develop the necessary knowledge, attitudes and skills that will foster growth within them, so that they become productive members of their local, national and global communities. A way of doing this is by making learning meaningful. To promote meaningful learning, as a faculty, we will focus on the following topics and related statements of inquiry during Term three;
Year Level | Topic | Statement of Inquiry |
6 | Governing Australia | Concentration of Authority can directly impact citizens. |
7 | Ancient China | The defining characteristics and legacies of ancient Chinese culture, were enhanced by the expression and creativity of their civilization. |
8 | The Spanish Conquest of the Americas | Imbalance in power during colonisation leads to negative changes for Indigenous peoples. |
9 | World War One | Conflict is the result of a variety of factors and it often leads to change. |
