Integrated Studies and Literacy

Integrated Studies is a combination of English and Social Studies at Curriculum Level Four. The curriculum strands are covered over two years in the junior school through a range of contexts.

Course focus

• culture, heritage and identity, and the history of St Hilda's

• the causes of conflict and effect that it has on individuals and groups

• the development of entrepreneurial skills and business knowledge

• the impact of innovation and exploration on our way of life

• the study of influential change makers that have shaped history

• decisions and actions that impact on our environment

• leadership and their consequences

Within these contexts students will learn the English skills required to examine short texts, complete a novel study, write both creative and formal pieces, research information and create visual and oral presentations.
