Year 7 ACE Humanities and Social Sciences follows the same core Australian Curriculum as the regular program but provides students with richer opportunities to extend their thinking, deepen their understanding and engage with ideas in more sophisticated ways. Students are challenged to ask sharper questions, analyse evidence more closely, explore multiple perspectives and make stronger connections between people, places, systems and events across time. Through greater depth, complexity and independence, the ACE program is designed to build confident, curious and capable learners who are ready to think critically about the world and take their understanding further.
