The key learning area of human society and its environment (HSIE) involves the study of people, cultures, societies, and environments.
Studies in this area encompass people and environments (human and natural) over time. It is designed to build an understanding of the impact and interaction of humans with naturally occurring elements and environs.
At TLSC Tumbi Umbi Campus all students study HSIE in the two areas of history and geography.
Overviews of what students are learning, when they are learning it and how they will be assessed appear on the history and geography pages. Take a look so you are informed of what is happening in your child's life at the campus.
Students learn specific historical and geographical concepts and skills in history and geography. They also have an opportunity to learn more about people and the societies and environments in which they live through elective subjects in Years 7 to 10 (Stages 4 to 5).
