What Year 9 HASS students should achieve
Coverage is judged against the achievement standard — not by ticking every content description. These are the official Year 9 HASS standard sentences this code builds towards:
- They explain the effects of human activity on environments, and the effects of environments on human activity.
- Students develop and modify questions to investigate an economic and business issue.
- Students analyse strategies to address a geographical phenomenon or challenge using environmental, social or economic criteria.
- Students use geographical knowledge, concepts, terms and digital tools as appropriate to develop descriptions, explanations and responses that acknowledge research findings.
- Students identify and evaluate the methods or strategies related to civic participation or action.
- Students develop a range of questions about a geographical phenomenon or challenge.
