The HSIE faculty at Hoxton Park High School is made up of an experienced team of committed teachers and offers students the opportunity to study a diverse range of subjects, both mandatory and elective.
Our subjects are designed to encourage students to think about the world in new and different ways and to enable them to develop an appreciation of the past, present and future physical, social and cultural aspects of society.
In HSIE, students explore varied subjects in human society and its environment to learn about history, geography, people, societies and culture.
Students also have an opportunity to learn more about people and the societies and environments in which they live through elective subjects.
A large number of individual subjects make up the key learning area of HSIE in which students:
- research, gather and analyse information
- question and make judgements
- write for a variety of purposes.
