Human society and its environment

In human society and its environment (HSIE), the subjects of history and geography are mandatory from Kindergarten to Year 10, where students study specific historical and geographical concepts and skills. 

Human Society and Its Environment (HSIE) at Les Powell School

In HSIE, your child will learn about themselves, their community, and the world. The modified ES1 curriculum encourages personal expression and appreciation of diversity through storytelling and interactive activities. For students in Years 7-12, the Life Skills syllabus focuses on understanding relationships, rights, and responsibilities. We provide opportunities for your child to engage with their community, develop empathy for others, and participate in meaningful activities that promote social skills and active citizenship. Our aim is to help your child feel connected to their community and understand their role within it.
