A major course of study in the Social Sciences (ancient and modern history, politics or economics) will enable a specialist teaching role in senior secondary (Years 11 and 12). Emphasis is given to inquiry-based practical work, demonstrations, independent and co-operative group learning, whole class discussions and use of information communication technology, to ensure effective teaching and learning practices in secondary Society and Environment. Units in this program address key social science and pedagogic understandings and provide the content knowledge, skills and values needed to address the demands and opportunities of the Society and Environment learning area in secondary schools.
