Human Society and Its Environment (HSIE)

Our Human Society and Its Environment (HSIE) faculty offers a dynamic and engaging program that inspires students to understand the world around them. HSIE subjects—including History, Geography, Economics, Business Studies, Legal Studies, and Society and Culture—encourage students to explore diverse societies, examine global and local issues, and think critically about historical events and contemporary challenges. Our dedicated staff create interactive and meaningful learning experiences, fostering inquiry, research skills, and active citizenship. By studying HSIE, students gain valuable knowledge and skills that prepare them for life beyond school, empowering them to contribute thoughtfully to society.

Languages

In NSW secondary schools, mandatory study of 100 hours in one language is completed in Years 7–10 but preferably in Years 7–8, over one continuous 12-month period. In Stage 6, a variety of languages is offered in NSW schools, catering for beginning students to background speakers. Students at Lisarow High School learn German in Year 7. It is also offered as an elective class in Stage 6.
