Year 7 Humanities

In Year 7 Humanities, students focus on the study of History and Geography. History is the study of human behaviour and interaction in social, cultural, environmental, economic, and political contexts. In Year 7 History students study history from the time of the earliest human communities to the end of the ancient period – a time defined by the development of cultural practices and organised societies. Geography is about how places are perceived and valued differently by people and how their interactions impact on places and environments.
