Our tutors will teach Year 7 students following the Australian curriculum, ensuring they develop a strong understanding of history, geography, civics, and economics. By the end of Year 7, students describe how societies and systems of government have evolved and how geographical processes influence places and environments. They explore how historical and contemporary events shape identities, communities, and economic decisions. Students analyse the rights and responsibilities of individuals and groups within Australian democracy, the role of government, and the characteristics of ancient and modern societies. They develop inquiry skills, such as questioning, collecting data, and evaluating information to form conclusions and present well-supported explanations.
History:
Year 7 students study ancient history, including the deep time history of Australia and early human societies such as Ancient Greece, Rome, Egypt, India, and China. They explore the development of cultural practices, social structures, and technological innovations. The curriculum emphasises how early societies adapted to their environments and the legacies they left behind, including historical sites and cultural heritage
Geography:
Students explore the themes of "Water in the world" and "Place and liveability." They examine how water is a crucial environmental resource, its distribution, and the challenges associated with managing water scarcity. Additionally, they study factors that contribute to the liveability of places, such as access to services, environmental quality, and community connections. This includes understanding how different communities perceive and value their surroundings, both in Australia and the broader Asia-Pacific region.
Civics and Citizenship:
Students investigate the key features of Australia’s democracy, including the role of the Constitution and principles such as freedom and equality. They explore the Australian legal system, understanding the importance of justice, the rule of law, and how rights are protected. The curriculum also covers the cultural diversity of Australia and the importance of community cohesion, emphasising the roles and responsibilities of active citizenship.
Economics and Business:
Year 7 students learn about economic decision-making, focusing on how individuals and businesses allocate resources to meet needs and wants. They study the characteristics of different types of businesses, the role of entrepreneurs, and how various types of work contribute to communities. The curriculum also addresses the rights and responsibilities of consumers and businesses, preparing students to make informed financial and economic choices
