Overview
Humanities and Social Sciences (HASS) are the study of human behaviour and interaction in social, cultural and environmental contexts. HASS has a historical and contemporary focus, from personal to global contexts and consider challenges for the future.
In the Australian Curriculum, the HASS learning area comprises two subjects: History and Geography.
The HASS subjects provide a broad understanding of the world in which we live, and how people can participate as active and informed citizens with high-level skills needed for the 21st century.
