What Year 5 HASS students should achieve
Coverage is judged against the achievement standard — not by ticking every content description. These are the official Year 5 HASS standard sentences this code builds towards:
- By the end of Year 5, students explain the causes of the establishment of British colonies in Australia after 1800.
- They evaluate sources to determine origin and perspectives.
- They suggest conclusions based on evidence.
- Students develop questions and locate, collect and organise information and data from primary and secondary sources.
- They explain the influence of people on the characteristics of places and in the management of spaces.
- Students explain the key values and features of Australia’s democracy and how people achieve civic goals.
