Official Notice - New Stage 6 Human Society and Its Environment Life Skills Syllabus
BOS 51/10
The Stage 6 Human Society and Its Environment Life Skills Syllabus (2010) is now available.
The Board reviewed the Stage 6 Citizenship and Society Life Skills Syllabus (1999, amended 2007) to provide:
- additional curriculum options in the HSIE Learning Area
- a continuum of learning from the Life Skills outcomes and content in the Years 7–10 syllabuses.
As part of the review, a new Stage 6 Human Society and Its Environment Life Skills Syllabus was developed to replace the Stage 6 Citizenship and Society Life Skills Syllabus. The new syllabus will be implemented in 2012 for students undertaking a Preliminary course or courses from the syllabus. Teachers will continue to use the existing syllabus for students studying the Preliminary Citizenship and Society Life Skills course in 2011 and HSC Stage 6 Citizenship and Society Life Skills course in 2011 and 2012.
