This includes three main themes:

3) Citizenship and participation
 
Students will be given opportunities to:

1) Acquire and apply knowledge and understanding about becoming informed citizens.
2) Investigate local, national and international issues, problems and events of current interest.
3) Critically evaluate their participation within school and/or community issues.
