What Does HASS Stand For?

HASS is an acronym that stands for Humanities and Social Sciences.

Within the Foundation – Year 10 Australian Curriculum, HASS can be broken down into four sub-strands:

• History
• Geography
• Civics and Citizenship
• Economics and Business

Studies of history and geography both begin in foundation, while civics and citizenship education starts in year 3. Study of economics and business starts in year 5.
