Humanities

Humanities:


At TEC, Humanities aims to guide students to understand the complexity of the world around them. Our Curriculum endeavours to push the limits of all students in order to achieve and exceed their potential. We believe in the mastery vision of providing an engaging experience, which readies our students for the challenges of the local, national and wider world. We aim to provide them with the tools that will make them a better ‘Human’, allowing them to explore themselves spiritually, morally and culturally, to be brave and ask questions about our multicultural world. We aim for them to be critical thinkers, be prepared to ask big questions and explore real life. We want students to learn from the past and understand the present, live the present but prepare for the future.


RE: 

RE at TEC wants students to explore those ‘Big’ questions about our purpose in this world. The curriculum provokes challenging questions about the ultimate meaning of life, beliefs about God, the self and the nature of reality, issues of right and wrong, and what it means to be human. We endeavour to provide the opportunity for students to grow spiritually, morally and culturally, yet, withhold confidence in their own beliefs and values as well as respecting the views and beliefs of others. We want to inspire them to be humble, proud, respectful and tolerant of people from all walks of life and make a positive difference to the world we all share.


Geography:

The Geography department strives to give students a range of learning experiences through human and physical Geography. We aim to develop in students the skills, enthusiasm and understanding necessary to become life-long learners, and to foster an open-mindedness towards other people and cultures, as well as a sense of responsibility to the world around us.



History:

Our History department enriches students with a broad understanding of their history, encouraging students to engage with the past and inspiring them to help this shape their future. Students study the diversity of societies and relationships, exploring concepts of change and continuity to identify the challenges of their time.
