What Year 8 HASS students should achieve
Coverage is judged against the achievement standard — not by ticking every content description. These are the official Year 8 HASS standard sentences this code builds towards:
- Students identify ways in which Australians express different aspects of their identity and explain perspectives on Australia’s national identity.
- They describe the roles of political parties and elected representatives in Australian government.
- They sequence events and developments to explain causes and effects, and patterns of continuity and change across societies and time periods.
- They interpret information and data to identify economic and business issues and trends, and describe economic cause-and-effect relationships.
- They describe the effects of human activity or hazards on environments.
- They explain how these interconnections change places or environments.
