Year level sub-strand

Description:

Concepts for developing understanding

The content in the civics and citizenship sub-strand provides opportunities for students to develop understanding about government and democracy, laws and citizens and citizenship, diversity and identity. The year provides a study of Australia’s constitution and how its features shape Australia’s democracy (government and democracy) and how Australia’s legal system aims to provide justice (laws and citizens). Students explore diversity within Australian society, how groups express their identities and the role of shared values in promoting social cohesion (citizenship, diversity and identity).

Inquiry Questions

• How is Australia’s system of democratic government shaped by the Constitution?
• What principles of justice help to protect the individual’s rights to justice in Australia’s system of law?
• How is Australia a diverse society and what factors contribute to a cohesive society?
