HASS
In the Western Australian Curriculum, the Humanities and Social Sciences learning area comprises four subjects: Civics and Citizenship, Economics and Business, Geography, and History.
By studying Humanities and Social Sciences, students will develop the ability to question; think critically; make decisions based on evidence; devise proposals for actions; and communicate effectively. Thinking about, reflecting on, and responding to issues requires an understanding of the key historical, geographical, political, legal, economic, business and societal factors involved, and how these different factors interrelate.
The Humanities and Social Sciences subjects provide students with the knowledge and skills they need to develop a broad understanding of the world in which we live and how people can participate as active and informed citizens in the 21st century.
At Craigie Heights we provide an enriched HASS curriculum and pride ourselves on providing rich, regular learning experiences that teach Aboriginal cultures and histories. In order to respectfully and responsibly teach Aboriginal cultures and histories we have developed a Reconciliation Action Plan. This action plan has been carefully constructed after having conversations with, and seeking feedback from, Aboriginal elders, leaders and families within our school community.
