What Year 10 HASS students should achieve
Coverage is judged against the achievement standard — not by ticking every content description. These are the official Year 10 HASS standard sentences this code builds towards:
- Students evaluate strategies to address a geographical phenomenon or challenge, using environmental, social and economic criteria.
- Students explain the role of significant ideas, individuals, groups and institutions connected to the developments of this period and their influences on Australian and global history.
- They explain the causes and effects of events, developments, turning points or movements in 20th century Australia and internationally, leading up to and through World War II, and the post-war world.
- By the end of Year 10, students analyse how economic indicators influence Australian Government decision-making.
- By the end of Year 10, students compare the key features and values of Australia’s system of government to those of another system of government.
- They evaluate perspectives of significant events and developments, and explain the important factors that influence these perspectives.
