Stage 4 HSIE Overview
At J J Cahill Memorial High School we have chosen to semesterise Stage 4 History and Geography. This has given us the capacity to build the skills and knowledge required for future study. By dedicating time to each subject we ensure that students are equipped with deep knowledge and deep understanding of content which leads to high expectations and a marked growth in engagement in classrooms.
Geography
In Stage 4, students describe geographical processes that influence the features of places and environments. They describe how places are valued differently by different people. Students also investigate environmental change and hazards.
History
In Stage 4, students describe the nature of history and archaeology, and explain their contribution to an understanding of the past. They describe major periods of historical time and sequence events, people and societies from the past.
