You, Your Family and the Community 1

I will learn:

• About social issues relating to the world we live in.
• To understand the roles and functions of communities and families.
• The location and functions of some facilities, services, resources, and organisations in the community.
• How to interact positively within and between communities and families.

In typical lessons I might:

• Explore and research social and community issues.
• Investigate family and community organisations and interactions.
• Discuss issues relating to sexual and mental health, housing, media and the environment.
• Complete a range of practical tasks, discussions and assignments.
• Engage with the local community (e.g. childcare centres, council, and parks).

This course would suit someone who:

• Enjoys exploring and researching social issues.
• Wants to know more about how issues impact on themselves, their family and the community.
• Is enthusiastic about working with community organisations and service providers.
