Year 10 Society and Culture

In Year 10 Society and Culture, students explore the way in which youth culture, unseen disability and age are portrayed in society and examine the way technology impacts our society. Students will engage in evidence-based learning around youth and the way that people of various ages are treated, examine evidence to determine the way that society sees people of disability, understand the reasons why individuals seek to join groups, clubs, and gangs, and develop strategies to help society become more inclusive.
