The study of Humanities at Springfield is the study of human behaviour and interaction in social, cultural, environmental, economic and political contexts. Humanities has a historical and contemporary focus, from personal to global contexts, and consider challenges for the future.
In the Australian Curriculum, the Humanities learning area includes a study of history, geography, civics and citizenship and economics and business.
Through studying Humanities students will develop the ability to question, think critically, solve problems, communicate effectively, make decisions and adapt to change. Thinking about and responding to issues requires an understanding of the key historical, geographical, political, economic and societal factors involved, and how these different factors interrelate.
