Year 9 Social Studies

Social Studies is the study of people and groups of people.  We aim to make students more knowledgeable about their world and give them the skills to be actively involved in society.  Critical thinking is encouraged as well as how to become a responsible citizen.  Over Year 9 and 10 themes of Societies in Action and Human Rights in a variety of contexts and settings are covered.  A variety of inquiry, literacy and processing skills are used throughout the course.
