HUMANITIES

Welcome back from everyone in the Humanities team! Hoping everyone’s rested and raring to get back into school for this semester. It’s an exciting time in the faculty as a lot of our subjects swap over – the juniors alternating with Geography and History units and the middle years moving from into their second set of electives. This a great opportunity for students to make sure they have everything they need to get back into the classroom for our classes (the number of pens and pencils that seem to wander away over the semester can be astonishing!).  

In the senior school we’ve already moved into units 2 and 4 for VCE courses and I hope that students were able to balance some relaxation with their coursework requirements over the holidays; these efforts are appreciated and important with all the content that’s covered in VCE units! It’s only the start of the term and yet we’re already on the final straight for year 12 classes so keep up the efforts and stay on top of things as best you can!  

The team is already looking ahead to the coming 2024 calendar with a lot of great discussions regarding the subjects being offered in Humanities. I’m extremely grateful for the efforts from the team here. 2024 VCE students are first up though with the VCE Expo to give students some guidance on what subjects are on offer and I can’t wait to share all the great programs that students can pursue in Humanities. Students should come along with an open mind and any questions about the great units that we run at Mooroolbark College.  

It’s great to be back for term 3 and we in the Humanities team are looking forward to another terrific semester.
