Human society and its environment

In Human Society and its Environment (HSIE), students can explore and develop their understanding of current affairs, contemporary issues and the relevance of historical trends and events which contribute to our past, present and future society.

Through the study of HSIE subjects, students will engage in a diverse range of learning activities, with a specific focus on written analysis.  Skills learnt through the study of these courses will provide students with a strong foundation for further tertiary level study across many disciplines and lifelong learners. 

As future informed global citizens and leaders, our students consider the complex and changing social, economic, political and geographical world and develop skills in critical thinking, debate and analysis to reach judgements. 

In Stages 4 and 5 at Killarney Heights High School, we Study Geography and History with electives in Commerce, Geography and History
