Human Society and Its Environment (HSIE) Stage 6

Human Society and its Environment is the study of how humans interact with the world, how society operates and how it is changing. Through the study of HSIE, students develop the skills to prepare them to actively and responsibly participate as informed citizens in the contemporary world.

Years 11 and 12 subject choices and career opportunities

Students can see the connections between their subject choices in Years 11 and 12 and the career opportunities these subjects can lead to after school.

We have worked with education and industry experts and added information to each Stage 6 course description about the possible study, work, and training paths relevant to the subject.
