About:

CCE aims for students to develop knowledge, skills, and understanding about the community, citizenship, and the environment. The subject explores the way individuals interact within a variety of social, cultural, economic, and environmental contexts.


At Aldridge:

CCE is a subject offered by the Learning Enhancement Centre (LEC). CCE is available to senior students (in Year 10, 11, 12) who are planning to exit school with a QCIA. 


Why study CCE?

CCE encourages students to become active and informed citizens and to develop skills to understand their community and environment. In this course, students will:

  • Learn about active citizenship, and ways to participate in and contribute to their community.
  • Learn about changes over time; learn about changes over locations.
  • Explore the world around them by investigating the natural and constructed features of different places.

Investigate how scientific understandings can inform decision-making about people and their environments.


Facilities, Equipment and Software:

CCE is taught downstairs in F Block. This allows easy access for students with mobility issues, as there are no stairs to negotiate. There is Teacher Aid assistance during lessons for students that need one-on-one support. Our classroom is fitted with a large whiteboard, projector, and speakers that enable our students to access multimedia as part of their learning experience.
