The Humanities Faculty has a greater role to play than ever before in facilitating a young person’s development and sense of identity in a world that seems increasingly utilitarian and driven by market forces. At a time of rapid change, pupils need to develop a keen sense of their own identity and consider how they relate to and participate in the society, belief systems, environments and institutions around them.

The mass media and wealth of information that is available at a touch of a button necessitates that young people are able to examine information critically in the pursuit of truth. In preparation for adult life, the Faculty plays a vital role in developing young peoples’ ability to make skilful and moral considerations as healthy consumers in a caring and mutually respectful society.
