Human Society and its Environment (HSIE), is the study of both History and Geography, and are both compulsory subjects through to the end of Stage 5.
Additionally, students in Year 8 can choose the School-developed Elective MAC (Mysteries and Conspiracies), while in Stage 5 students can add Commerce, Elective Geography and Elective History to their timetable. All HSIE subjects have a high standard of student expectation, with a focus on developing higher-order-thinking, real world understanding’s and the extension of writing skills.

- Aboriginal Studies

- Geography
- History Extension
- Legal Studies
