This unit focuses on the curriculum development and knowledge of Humanities, Societies and Environments learning within a primary classroom, where learners and teachers are positioned as inquirers in the world.
In this unit, we focus on the ways in which Geography, History, Futures & Economics and Business can be taught in creative and innovative ways. We also build upon the Civics and Citizenship and Worldviews and religions components of the Humanities curriculum.
Cross curriculum priorities of: Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander history and culture; Asia and Australia's engagement with Asia; and Sustainability will also be considered.
