History 1918 - 2001
We will study the modern world and Australia from 1918 to 2001. We may explore the significance of the peace treaties of World War One and how these arguably led to World War Two.
We will explore the nature of warfare in World War Two and the key developments in technology towards the end of the war such as the atomic bomb as well as the horrors of war being exposed, such as the Holocaust.
Following that, we will focus on rights and freedoms by investigating the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the impact this had on various movements such as the civil rights movement and pop culture.
For students considering VCE History in the future, we recommend selecting this subject.

Human Geography
Human geography deals with how human activity affects the earth and how the earth affects humans, including natural and built environments.
We will explore the ways that people view places and how this influences their connection to their own and others’ environments by thinking about how transportation and communication technologies connect people, services and information.
We will consider the effect of being a consumer on places. For example, we may undertake a case study on fast fashion or tourism and its impacts on the environment and people.
We will also investigate where people live and why they live there, and how this effects wellbeing. For example, we may look at a case study of a developing nation in Africa or South America.

Economics
In Economics, we consider the demand and supply of goods and services. We interpret demand, supply curves, market price and market quantity.
We will explore how the Australian economy is performing and the importance of its economic relationships with other countries.
We also analyse the impact of imports and exports on the global economy in achieving growth and prosperity.
We investigate the relationship between economic performance and living standards as well as the reasons why these differ across regions within and between economies.

We will introduce the international legal framework of treaties and international organisations as well as the role Australia plays on the international stage.

Humanities C
We will undertake immersive and hands-on learning experiences across the four humanities disciplines (history, geography, business and civics) in a series of short modules.
We will be exposed to a broad range of topics in order to develop the transferable skills needed to navigate the world we live in, now and in the future.
Humanities A, B, C, and D follow the same approach, but are not a learning sequence.
These subjects provide an alternative for students who do not wish to undertake a humanities subject at VCE level.
