The Humanities curriculum aims to cultivate curious, empathetic and critically engaged learners who understand their place in a complex, interconnected world. Through the disciplines of Citizenship, Geography, History and Religious Studies, we seek to empower students with the knowledge, skills and values needed to navigate society with confidence and integrity. 

Students are equipped with the knowledge and skills to: 

• Understand the past, engage with the present, and prepare for the future 

• Appreciate diverse perspectives, cultures and beliefs 

• Respond to global, moral and political challenges with empathy and confidence 

Through Humanities, students explore the world intellectually, ethically and socially, developing the ability to think deeply, speak purposefully, and act responsibly. 

Citizenship Studies has the power to motivate and enable young people to become thoughtful, active citizens. Students gain a deeper knowledge of democracy, government and law, and develop skills to create sustained and reasoned arguments, present various viewpoints and plan practical citizenship actions to benefit society. They will also gain the ability to recognise bias, critically evaluate argument, weigh evidence and look for alternative interpretations and sources of evidence, all of which are essential skills valued by higher education and employers.
