Humanities 人文

The Humanities Department aims to: 

• Inculcate in Marists a love for the Humanities subjects; and 

• Develop Marists to be critical and independent thinkers prepared to face the globalised world while remaining rooted in Singapore.

To achieve the Department's goals, the following programmes are offered:

• Lower Secondary Humanities (History & Geography)

• Upper Secondary Humanities (Social Studies, Elective Geography & History, Geography & History)

We adopt an Inquiry-Based Learning Approach in our teaching of the Humanities. It consists of four main areas of inquiry:

In the study of Humanities, our students are actively engaged in inquiry. This is best seen in a component called Geographical & Historical Investigations (GI and HI respectively).

In addition, we work with the Student Development Committee to come up with a series of Learning Journeys that have their anchor in Humanities topics and concepts. Some of the Learning Journeys we have completed include:

• NEWater Learning Journey

• Madame Tussauds Museum

• Resilience Trails

• Parliament House Visits

Marists are given the opportunities to participate in the following competitions:

• Mock United Nations Conferences

• National Stamp Competition

• Raffles Humanities Competition

• NUS Geography Challenge

• Tourism Competition

人文部致力于：

• 培养学生对人文学科的热爱；

• 培育学生成为具有批判性与独立思维的人才，心系祖国放眼世界。

为实现这些目标，人文部开设了以下课程：

• 低年级人文学科 —— 历史与地理

• 高年级人文学科 —— 社会学、地理（选修）与历史（选修）、纯地理与纯历史
  

我们采用 探究式学习方法 来开展教学，主要涵盖四大探究领域。

在人文科的学习中，学生积极参与探究。这主要体现在 地理与历史研究（GI 与 HI） 中。

此外，人文部与学生培育部紧密合作，设计了一系列与人文相关的主题与概念为核心的 学习之旅。部分已开展的学习之旅包括：

• 新生水学习之旅（NEWater Learning Journey）

• 杜莎夫人蜡像馆参访
