Curriculum Links

This program is an invaluable resource for the KLA of SOSE from Years 8 -10, across all state and territory curricula.

It is of particular application in Victoria’s SOSE Levels 5 & 6 Economy and Society Unit, all Civics & Citizenship courses, and NSW BOS Commerce Years 7-10 (especially Unit 6: Political Involvement). Also in NSW: History Stage 5 and Geography Stage 5.

This program also provides excellent background information on the key government knowledge required for further specialist studies by senior students of Politics, Legal Studies and Business Studies / Commerce at Year 11.

Local councils across Australia would also find this program invaluable as a primer for newly elected councilors and junior level municipal staff, etc.

The program is divided into clearly accessible, stand-alone segments for easier viewing and comprehension, thus:
