History is a participation in the social, civic, political, economic, cultural and natural environment, and is central to the Social Sciences area of learning. It includes understanding and interpreting past and present human behaviour and experiences, and how they influence events, circumstances and the environment.
Geography is the study of earth’s landscapes, people, places and environment. It examines humans in their interdependent relationship with the earth. Geography is unique in bridging the social sciences (human geography) with natural sciences (physical geography).
Human geography concerns the understanding of the dynamics of cultures, societies and economies, while physical geography concerns the understanding of the dynamics of physical landscape and the environment. It helps us all to be more socially and environmentally sensitive, informed and responsible citizens.
Geography provides scientific knowledge about physical, environmental and human processes which form the basis for cross-curricular education. Geography promotes the following aims in the curriculum guide: intellectual development, personal development and self-fulfillment, social and cultural development and development of environmental and population awareness
