Social Science

Welcome to the Social Science Faculty. Through our subject offerings we aim to broaden our student’s knowledge of significant world events and issues. Students will be challenged to become active and informed citizens who are aware of the major issues facing Australia and the world.

In Years 8, 9 and 10, students are introduced to the crucial skills associated with the Social Sciences. Students gain a knowledge and understanding of the key events which have shaped the history of our nation, region and world. Introductory studies in geography expose students to people, places and issues influencing our lives today.

In Yrs 11 and 12, our Senior students have the opportunity to specialise in areas of interest – Ancient History, Modern History, Economics or Geography.

Through the Social Sciences, we challenge our students to embrace their roles as members of society and encourage them to question why the world is the way it is and how they can contribute to making it better. With an excellent team of teachers whose experiences, interests and passions are varied (and a little left of centre) the Aspley State High Social Science Faculty are proud of their motto “bringing the world to a brain near you”.
