Humanities

At MSPS, Humanities is an integral part of teaching and learning, providing students with a strong foundation in History, Geography and Civics and Citizenship. Through our carefully sequenced curriculum, students build their understanding of significant historical events, ancient civilisations, Australia's democracy and government, diverse cultures and the world around them. Humanities learning is integrated with English lessons, strengthening students' background knowledge, reading comprehension, vocabulary and critical thinking. As they investigate people, places and events, students develop research and communication skills while gaining an understanding of democratic values, active citizenship and their role in local and global communities. This strong foundation prepares students to become curious, informed and responsible citizens.
