Humanities  

Enquiry, exploration and investigation inspire curiosity about the world, its past, present and future.

Events and human experiences are complex, and are perceived, interpreted and represented in different ways.

Human societies are complex and diverse, and shaped by human action and belief.

Informed, self-aware citizens engage with the challenges and opportunities that face humanity, and are able to take considered and ethical action.
