To engage our pupils, the department continues to incorporate different pedagogies and strategies in the lessons. Some of the pedagogies used include cooperative learning and structured academic controversy. Games, videos, role play, project work and the use of ICT like blogging are also incorporated into the curriculum. To ensure that there is experiential learning, we incorporate local and overseas field trips for our pupils.
The Humanities Week is one of the platforms where we hope to stimulate the students’ interest in the subject with their achievements being showcased.
