Human Society and its Environment (HSIE) is the study of the world around us. It asks questions about the past and how it impacts us today, how we interact with our environment and how we as individuals can make a difference in the world in which we live. The aim of HSIE is to develop in students the values, attitudes, skills, knowledge and understanding that:
