organised themselves into societies over time, and how they
have interacted with their physical environments.

and ststes to form institutions and systems. SOSE
provides a framework for developing student knowledge of
Australian society past and present and its urban and natural
environments.

The knowledge
skills and values students acquire in this study enable
them to participate as confident responsible and active
citizens in a democratic society which functions in a global
context. Students will gain a broad knowledge of the
history and functioning of several key institutions of Australian
society in order to be able to form judgements and to make
critical decisions, affecting the society in which they
live. This knowledge also includes the development
of aspects of economics to understand financial systems
and to participate as informed enterprising adults in personal
and work situations.
SOSE also encompasses
the study of the natural and built surroundings that provide
the physical context for social processes and cultural development.
It examines the nature and independence of environments
and people.
Students learn
to develop respect and care for the environment.
