SOSE enables students to use their fascination with people and places to make sense of their world. They investigate societies and environments and develop an understanding of their relationships with other people and places. They identify values in everyday situations and local contexts. They see the place of social and environmental inquiry in people’s work and community lives. Students gain awareness of the history and diversity of lifestyles of Aboriginal people and Torres Strait Islander people throughout Australia.
This key learning area is organised under the strands of:
- Time, continuity and change
- Place and space
- Culture and identity
- Systems, resources and power
