Humanities encompasses aspects of:

History: local, national and international
Geography
Civics and citizenship
Environmental awareness
Global understanding
Basic Economics
Political Science

Students will develop:

Intellectual skills of inquiry and critical thinking
Oral and written communication skills
Presentation skills, using our state-of-the-art Multimedia facilities;

Students will be challenged, intrigued and encouraged to be active participants in the learning process – and have fun!
