In the Humanities and Social Sciences curriculum, students develop ethical understanding as they investigate the ways that diverse values and principles have influenced human activity. As students develop informed, ethical values and attitudes, they explore different perspectives, ambiguities and ethical considerations related to social and environmental issues. They discuss and apply ethical concepts, such as equality, respect and fairness, examine shared beliefs and values that support Australian democracy and citizenship, and become aware of their own roles, rights and responsibilities as participants in their social, economic and natural world.
